On 28 April, I felt mild covid symptoms, so I took basic COVID medicine for 5 days, but my test came back negative. I feel something heavy on my chest from the last 4 days, and from yesterday, sudden, unbearable chest pain started and ended after some time. I attached the medicine that I took.

Even after a negative COVID test, post viral symptoms or mild inflammation in the chest, like costochondritis, can occur. However, sudden chest pain must be evaluated urgently. Please visit a doctor to rule out heart or lung related issues.

My father has recovered from Covid. It has been 25 days and he tested negative recently. He has an elevated blood sugar level which is now under control, but he is getting fever. What might be the cause? I have attached his blood report. Is there anything to worry about or is this common after Covid? Please kindly advise.

I have been on various DMARDs over the past few years. Initially, I took HCQS 400 for about one year, then Mexate 10 to 20 mg weekly for nearly another year, followed by Folitrax 20 mg weekly for one year. Currently, I am on Rumalef 10 mg daily. Could you please suggest which medicines might be best suited for me now? My recent test report shows, GMS is nil, Stc is 0, TTC is 14, PEI is 334, SGOT/SGPT is 26/34, and CRP is 503.

My blood report shows a slightly higher CRP of 4.17 and increased immunoglobulin levels. I do not have any symptoms, and all other tests are normal: LDL cholesterol 98, ESR 10, blood pressure normal, and fasting sugar 71. What could be the reason for these findings?
