My mom just recovered from COVID-19, and yesterday we had some blood tests done, including D-dimer, LDH, and ferritin levels. The results showed the D-dimer is 585, LDH is 233, and ferritin is 401. What precautions should we take now? Can you please give some advice?

I'm finding myself needing to take deep breaths more often, and it seems to help me relax. But I've also noticed I'm losing weight, and I'm not sure why. Could you help me understand what's happening here and what I should do next?

Normal, nothing to worry ok.

I've had a fever that just won't go away for the past four days, and I'm really concerned because the tests showed no malaria or dengue. I'm also dealing with vomiting, a cough, and body shivers. What could be happening, and what should I do next?

Get your Urine examination done,as there could be UTI if it turns out tobe negative that could be FLU ,no need to worry,stay hydrated and consume healthy food

Is it normal to feel feverish after getting an anti-rabies injection? I've been feeling a bit off since I had the shot and I'm wondering if this is something to be worried about. Could it just be a side effect of the vaccine?

it is normal
