Hi Doctor, I have been a primary contact of two COVID positive patients. I have tested negative by RTPCR and HRCT, and my blood reports are normal. However, I have been experiencing a persistent fever of up to 102F for the past three days. I do not have any other symptoms. I am currently taking Calpol 650 three times a day, along with zinc and vitamin C supplements. Could you please advise if this is concerning and how I should proceed with this condition?

Your symptoms may be due to a post viral inflammatory response or an unrelated infection. Continue Calpol and hydration. If fever persists beyond 5 to 7 days, consider repeating tests. Check for dengue, typhoid, or viral infections that mimic Covid.

My father has recovered from Covid. It has been 25 days and he tested negative recently. He has an elevated blood sugar level which is now under control, but he is getting fever. What might be the cause? I have attached his blood report. Is there anything to worry about or is this common after Covid? Please kindly advise.

I am a 20 year old boy working in a chemical factory. I have been experiencing fever for the past month. After consulting a doctor, I was advised to undergo a C reactive protein test, and the report is attached. We are unsure about the significance of the high CRP value and would like your help in understanding the report.
