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'm wondering if paracetamol is just for treating fevers, or can it help with colds as well? Are there other benefits to taking it? Would love to get some guidance on this.

Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is a versatile medication that not only helps reduce fever but also relieves headache, toothache, muscle aches, and menstrual cramps, while also alleviating cold and flu symptoms, making it a commonly used over-the-counter medication for various pain and discomfort conditions.
