Dr Mandana Nikkar

Causes vary — iron deficiency, diet, chronic disease and more. We assess with history, exam and labs, then tailor diet, supplements or further work-up.

After assessment we clarify viral vs bacterial likelihood, supportive care, when antibiotics help, and red flags for urgent return.

We review readings, labs, medication and diet together, and discuss newer options when clinically appropriate — never stop medicines without advice.

Not for every cold. Antibiotics only when clinically indicated — overuse drives resistance and side effects.

Screening depends on age, sex and risk. We outline age-appropriate checks for common cancers in men and women during the visit.

Clinic readings, home logs when useful, lifestyle advice and medicines when needed — with regular follow-up, not one-off visits.
