Last year she suffered from Hodgkins lymphoma cancer. Eight days ago, her COVID test was positive, but now her health is very good with no symptoms, except occasional coughing?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have no allergic symptoms but slight pain in neck and back muscles while doing computer work. Appetite, motion, and sleep are all normal. I did this blood test myself as I do it every year for a health checkup. I have had COVID twice, in May (moderate) and January (mild). No hospitalization or steroids were used. Please guide me based on the blood report?
