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?

Her CRP and ferritin look fine, weakness may just be post viral fatigue. Give high-protein soft meals (dal, eggs, paneer, curd, rice). Small, frequent meals with vitamin supplements help. Tonic like B complex with iron can support recovery. Rule out anemia or thyroid issues if fatigue continues.

Question

I would like the results of my mother urine and blood reports. She is experiencing back pain and stomach problems.

Question

What is a vial of blood? How much blood is in a vial?

My 7.5 year old son has been unwell for the past 15 days. He gets a fever every 6 to 8 hours. He is being treated with antibiotics, fever syrup, and multivitamins. We have done all the blood tests, and everything came back negative. What could be the reason for this persistent fever? What should we do next, as it has already been 15 days? We are worried because we do not know what is happening. Please advise.
