I'm really worried about whether I might have COVID-19, but I don't have any fever. Are there other symptoms I should be aware of, besides fatigue or tiredness, to help me figure it out without a test?

I've been told by my doctor to get both an ESR and a CBC done. But a friend mentioned that ESR is actually a part of the CBC or Complete Hemogram. Can you clarify this for me? I'm a bit confused and want to make sure I understand what tests I need.

ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) is not a part of CBC (Complete Blood Count) or Complete Hemogram, although both tests are often ordered together; ESR measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a test tube, indicating inflammation or infection, whereas CBC provides a broader analysis of blood components, including red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, and platelets.

I got a tetanus toxoid shot on January 18 because I cut my finger on a bus. Just today, I cut my toe on something small on the road. Do I need to get another tetanus injection or am I still covered?

I've been dealing with fever and this constant tiredness for about 20 days now. I even did blood tests for malaria and typhoid, but everything came back negative. I'm not having any issues like irritation while passing urine either. I've been taking paracetamol, and it helps for a bit, but then the fever and tiredness just come back. What might be going on?
