I've been feeling a bit worried and wanted to get your insight. I'm a 52-year-old female, and its been about 20 days since I had COVID. My recent tests showed a CRP level of 47 and ESR at 52. During the COVID illness, my ESR was at 50 but CRP was lower, like 0.20, 0.60, and then 3. Now it's at 46 after a week, and my D-dimer is reading 610. Should I be worried about these results? Would love to know what this could mean.

Question

I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

Question

I'm experiencing a lot of excess heat in my body, and it's causing a bunch of side effects like loose motions, a really strong smell during urine and bowel movements, and burning sensations in my throat and when I pee. Plus, I'm having excess cold and sneezes. I've tried a lot of natural drinks to cool down, but nothing seems to work. Also, I can't even handle a little bit of spice. What could be causing this, and what should I do?
