Hi. From Monday onwards my fever has been fluctuating a lot, sometimes 104 and sometimes 99. I am having body and joint pain in my legs. I have a swollen tonsillar lymph node, but it does not hurt. I went to the hospital and they say it is viral fever. My blood results show low lymphocytes, high polymorphs, and high ESR. Can anyone please explain what my report and condition imply?

Likely viral fever with inflammatory response. High ESR and polymorphs support this. Continue hydration, rest, and monitor fever. If persists beyond 5 to 7 days, retest.

I was tested positive for Covid 19 on 17 April and now I am recovering from Covid. I am facing some problems related to post Covid recovery such as mild pain in chest, high pulse rate, irritation and itching in eyes, too much sleep, too much hunger, tiredness and weakness. As per my attached test report I have higher level of LDH, SGOT, eosinophils and low platelet count. What does this mean?
