I have a friend who got through diarrhoea, about six months ago, and this was a very worse case that I ever had seen in my life. He lost many kilos of his weight and the doc said that he has narrowly escaped death.

Now, it happened six months before, so, the problem is that his reports showed that he has got a deficiency of White Blood Cells because of which he would be very much in danger for many diseases, especially the viral ones.

So, this really proved true and from time to time, either he gets fever or congestion, mostly high fever though.

So, is there any solution to this problem ? !
He has been takings lots of medicines and now, he really hates medicines.

Any nutritious item or food or fruit or vegetable which may help him ? !

Really worried for him !
:confused:

We could not possibly diagnose your friend. He should see another doctor if he is still ill. I hope he gets better.
