Hi Doctor, I have tested positive for COVID. I have attached my report for your review. Could you please let me know if the infection appears mild or serious, and approximately how long recovery may take?

Most mild COVID cases recover in 7 to 14 days with rest and monitoring. Check oxygen saturation daily. If no breathlessness, it is likely a mild infection. Drink fluids, isolate, and monitor fever. Report any chest heaviness or shortness of breath.

I tested positive for COVID 19 on 6th May and started the prescribed medications. My blood reports on 11th May showed CRP 12 mg per L and D Dimer 1.730 mg per L. I began steroids (Medrol) in a tapering dose schedule, and my 16th May report showed CRP 1.62 mg per L and D Dimer 0.04 mg per L. I am currently on the second dose of steroids and have no symptoms. I am continuing the steroid course and would like advice on how to safely boost my immunity.

I have been experiencing a high fever for the past 3 days, along with intense headache, chest pain, and body aches. My CRP level in the blood test is 25 mg/L, and my blood pressure is 110/78 mmHg. Could you please advise what might be causing these symptoms and what treatment or tests are recommended?

My test results are CRP 18.6 mg/L, RA factor test 12 IU/ml, and anti CCP antibodies serum greater than 340. I also have diabetes.
