I've been having these mild cold symptoms that seem viral and maybe a bit allergic, like a runny nose and sneezing a lot for the past 10 days. My doctor suggested a blood test, including CRP, CBC, SGPT, SGOT, and Ferritin, to check if these could indicate COVID-19. All my blood test results came back normal except my Basophils Count is at 0, PCT at 0.187, and SGOT (AST Serum IFCC) at 50. I'm curious, is this blood test enough to understand what's going on, or should I consider a RAT for COVID or even a CT scan? I'm feeling a bit unsure about the next steps and would appreciate your advice.

I'm wondering if it's okay to take multivitamins and an energy drink at the same time? I don't want to overdo it or cause any unexpected side effects. Can mixing these together be harmful, or is it generally safe?
no problem you have to take.

I've been dealing with a sore throat that sometimes hurts a bit when I swallow, plus I've got this pain in my left shoulder. I've also been feeling pretty weak for about 5 days now. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms, and do you think I need to see a doctor?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a combination of a sore throat, shoulder pain, and general weakness. This could be due to a viral infection or even muscle strain, but if it persists, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
