I was diagnosed with COVID on Tuesday the 20th and started the meds. I've been getting a fever every day since the 22nd, like every 20 hours or so. At first, I took Dolo, but on the 23rd and today, the 24th, I could only get my hands on Meftal 250 DT. I'm worried because it's an NSAID and I've taken it for two days straight. Will that cause me any stomach trouble? I'm trying to get Dolo again in the meantime. Do you think I should be taking any precautions?

I've had a cough and cold for a week now and my complete blood profile came back normal, but my ESR is 75mm. I haven't had any fever, body pain, vomiting, or diarrhea. Currently, I'm on amoxyclav and taking ascoryl syrup. Do you think I need any more medication or any other tests? I'm a bit worried.

I'm feeling really irritated because I've had a running nose and constant sneezing since last night. It's making it hard for me to attend my classes or even eat anything. The only medicine I have in my room right now is cetirizine. Is it okay if I take it?

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She recently had an ESR test, and her result came back as 40mmhr. Could this indicate that she might have a TB infection? Also, I'm curious to know what the normal ESR range is when there's an infection involved.

An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) result of 40mmhr is elevated, indicating inflammation or infection, but it's not specific to TB; ESR can be elevated in various conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancers; in infections, ESR can range from 20-100 mmhr, but a diagnosis of TB requires additional tests, such as chest X-ray, sputum smear, or PCR; consult a doctor to interpret the results and determine the next course of action.
