My father has a wet cough and seems weak. His blood report shows neutrophilic leucocytosis, and his lymphocyte count is 12.3. Is this a serious condition, or is it a normal response to a cold?

Neutrophilic leucocytosis with high lymphocytes and wet cough suggests an active infection, which is possibly viral or bacterial. Not usually serious, but needs antibiotics if bacterial.

Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test or Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test

My mother tested COVID+ on 28/08/20. She has not repeated the test. Her latest blood report shows CRP higher than 0.20 and serum ferritin 130 (screenshot attached). She still feels weak and has gastric issues. Could you please suggest some diet tips or a tonic to improve her strength?
