I'm really curious about how some patients recover from COVID-19 without using plasma from recovered patients. I read about Rohit Datta, a 45-year-old who was admitted to the isolation ward in Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in Delhi, tested positive on March 2nd, and was discharged by March 14th after just taking paracetamol and other medicines prescribed by doctors. Can you explain how he might have recovered? I'm wondering if there's something specific about his treatment that helped or if it's something about the virus itself. Would love to understand more about it.

I've been dealing with a fever for the past three days, along with a bit of a cold and a headache. My eyes hurt, and I can't seem to get any sleep because of it. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to feel better?
If the area around your eyes and face is painful, you may be suffering from a bout of sinusitis. Visit a physician to get a prescription for some antibiotics, nasal decongestants and some multivitamins. You should also try home remedies like steam inhalation, hot compress on your sinuses, use of a neti pot for nasal irrigation, and use of a humidifier for your bedroom. Drink plenty of fluids and take rest.

I'm a 40-year-old woman, and last week I had a viral fever. I had a CBC blood test afterward, and my ESR level is 36. I've also been experiencing frequent headaches. Could this be related to my ESR level being higher? Are there any specific foods or diets I could follow to help reduce the ESR level?
Elevated ESR can be a non-specific indicator of inflammation in the body, which could be due to various reasons including infections, autoimmune diseases, and other inflammatory conditions. In your case, the viral fever you had could have contributed to the elevated ESR level. However, it is important to investigate further to determine the exact cause of the elevated ESR and your persistent headaches. To help reduce inflammation in the body and potentially lower ESR levels, you can consider incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet. These include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fatty fish like salmon), fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants (such as berries, spinach, and kale), nuts and seeds, and whole grains. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight, staying hydrated, and avoiding processed foods and excessive sugar intake can also help in reducing inflammation. For your persistent headaches, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
