I am suffering from high grade fever of 104 degrees F with sore throat and nasal congestion. Blood tests for dengue and malaria are negative, and the urine test report is normal. My CRP level is 32. I received the second dose of Covishield one week ago. What could be the cause of the elevated CRP level? I am already taking medication for high cholesterol and hypertension.

CRP 32 indicates inflammation, possibly viral or post vaccine response. Monitor temperature and symptoms. If fever persists more than 3 days, consult a doctor. Do required tests to rule out infection.

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?
