Hi, I want to know. I got a COVID rapid antigen test after my blood report showed CRP at 52.4. My result was negative. Is this not the final result of my COVID test and do I have to wait for another report? If so, what is the other report if this is negative?

A CRP of 52.4 is high, suggesting ongoing inflammation. A negative RAT is not enough. Please take an RT PCR test to accurately confirm or rule out COVID 19.

Please analyze my COVID 19 IgG antibody test report. The result shows 0.7 AU/mL. I have attached the report for your detailed review.

I lost my sense of smell and taste today. I had a fever with body aches starting on the 18th, but I no longer have a fever. I am waiting for my COVID test report. In the meantime, I want to start some medication. Could someone please advise what I should do?

On day 6 after infection, I did an RTPCR test. Today is day 10, and my report has come back with a Ct value of 22/25. I do not have any significant symptoms now, and my sense of smell and taste are normal. Should I be concerned about this Ct value?
