I've been feeling a bit worried and wanted to get your insight. I'm a 52-year-old female, and its been about 20 days since I had COVID. My recent tests showed a CRP level of 47 and ESR at 52. During the COVID illness, my ESR was at 50 but CRP was lower, like 0.20, 0.60, and then 3. Now it's at 46 after a week, and my D-dimer is reading 610. Should I be worried about these results? Would love to know what this could mean.

I'm really concerned because I've heard conflicting advice about what foods are okay for someone with dengue to eat. Is fish something that's safe to consume? If yes, what type of fish would be best? And if fish isn't recommended, what alternative foods should be included in their diet? I'm trying to make sure they're eating the right things to recover quickly.

don't take, only take veg
