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?

How much unexplained weight loss is bad?

Weight loss of five percent of body weight over a period of 6 - 12 months in the absence of trying to loose weight is considered an unexplained weight loss which is not good and needs a doctor's evaluation.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing something like an internal fever. My palms and feet are constantly burning, and I'm not sure what's going on. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

You may need investigations such as CBC to rule out infections. You may require antipyretics or antiinflammatory medication. In the mean time, avoid cold food and water, do not skip meals and opt for a softer diet before progressing to heavier foods and increase intake of vitamin C rich foods such as citric fruits. Drink plenty of fluids and take sufficient rest.
