I'm really worried because I tested positive for COVID-19 on April 20th and now I just have a mild cough, but my CRP levels came back at 17.08, which seems high since the clinical range is 5. My sons D-dimer is at 293 ngmL while the range is 198, although his CRP is fine. What can we do to bring these levels down? Any advice or treatment options would be greatly appreciated.

I've been using Nicotex for the past 10 days. I know there's a specific cycle for using it. Since I don't feel like I need it much, I'm just taking 1 or 2 chews daily. Is that okay, or should I be following the cycle more strictly?

I'm really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?

_Potential Harms_ 1. _Skin irritation_: Dettol can cause skin irritation, dryness, and discoloration, especially on sensitive genital skin. 2. _Reduced sensitivity_: Irritation and inflammation can lead to reduced sensitivity in the affected area. _Treatment and Precautions_ 1. _Stop using Dettol_: Immediately stop using Dettol or any harsh antiseptic on your genital area. 2. _Mild soap and water_: Clean your genital area with mild soap and warm water. 3. _Moisturize_: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and hydrate the affected skin. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Refrain from scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and potential infection. _Recovery and Follow-up_ 1. _Allow time to heal_: Give your skin time to heal and recover from the irritation. 2. _Monitor for infection_: Watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if they occur. 3. _Consult a healthcare professional_: If you experience persistent discomfort, reduced sensitivity, or concerns about your genital health, consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. _Remember_ 1. _Genital skin is sensitive_: Be gentle when cleaning and caring for your genital area. 2. _Avoid harsh chemicals_: Refrain from using harsh antiseptics, such as Dettol, on your genital area.
