I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?

Hey, I'm a bit concerned and could use some advice. My wife and I, both 35, went through mild Covid symptoms recently and thankfully, we're negative nowit's been about three weeks. During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

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?

it might be gastritis, start tablet pantop for 5 days , once a day

When exactly can I expect the fever to subside during the treatment, and how high is a "normal" fever? I'm really worried and just need some guidance. Can you clarify this without just saying to consult someone else?

there are many types of fever need full history to comment
