CRP 12 suggests mild inflammation, possibly post infection. Burning may be gastritis from medication or fever recovery. Eat light, avoid spicy foods, and consult your doctor if persists.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi Doctor, I have tested positive for COVID. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please let me know if the infection appears mild or serious, and approximately how long recovery may take?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My blood report shows a slightly higher CRP of 4.17 and increased immunoglobulin levels. I do not have any symptoms, and all other tests are normal: LDL cholesterol 98, ESR 10, blood pressure normal, and fasting sugar 71. What could be the reason for these findings?
