I recently got over COVID-19 and tested negative on April 30th, 2021. During the illness, I had a CT score of 1025, so it was moderately severe. Now that I'm recovering, I'm experiencing mild chest pain pretty regularly. I had a CRP test done, and the result came back as 7.17 mgL. Is that CRP level normal?

A CRP value of 7.17mgL is slightly elevated, indicating some degree of inflammation in your body. It is recommended to monitor this value and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain.

I've been dealing with a really annoying cold, cough, and itchy throat for about a week now. I've tried home remedies and even saw a doctor, but nothing seems to be working. The cough is so much worse at night than in the morning, and my throat always starts itching right before I cough. I'm currently taking Asthakind DX syrup and Cefpodoxime and Levocetirizine tablets, but it's still not getting better. Can you suggest any other medicine or treatment that might help?
