This confirms iron deficiency anemia. Continue iron tablets with meals. If fever continues, rule out infection. Use antacids like rabeprazole if there is gastric irritation.

Hi, I want to know what a complete blood test includes and what types of blood tests one should take to analyze and maintain physical well being?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I tested positive for COVID 19 and received my report on the 24th. Since then, I have been taking my medications regularly. However, I am still experiencing weakness and occasional fever. I do not have any issues with appetite or meals, I am eating normally. My case has been classified as mild. I am 30 years old and weigh 57 kg. Do I need to go for any further tests, or is this normal during recovery from mild COVID?

Dear Doctor, I have attached my cousin blood report. Kindly review it and guide me on what to do next. Is there anything serious in the report that we should be concerned about?
