I am COVID positive and today is the 8th day. I take Telmistran H regularly for high blood pressure. My current medicines are Azithromycin 500, Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Paracetamol since day 2. My recent blood report shows D dimer level 2600. One doctor advised a blood thinner injection for 7 days, while another said it is not immediately necessary and that Ecosprin 150 is enough. I need your opinion and guidance.

Your D dimer is elevated, which may happen in COVID. If you are feeling fine, no breathlessness or chest pain, oral medicines like Ecosprin are often enough. Blood thinners are used only in higher risk cases. Continue to monitor and follow your doctor advice. Please repeat the D dimer for 2 to 3 days and also get CBC and CRP done. A chest scan may be considered if symptoms worsen.

My son was having fever. Consulting the doctor, his blood report indicates normal for typhoid and other blood counts. WBC was 3500. So as per the doctor, it might be because of infection. The doctor is giving him antibiotics parenterally and Dextrose saline. My son does not have any other symptoms like fever or redness which he had previously. Slowly he is taking light food but in very low quantity. The only problem is he feels weakness and is lying on the bed. After 48 hours, another blood report is going to be done. I am worried. Please suggest?

There is a remark for eosinophilia in my blood report. Do I need to take treatment for it or should I ignore it?

I am 19 weeks pregnant. This is my blood report. In pregnancy, do these levels normally increase? Is it concerning? I have no previous history. Previously, I was on Duphaston and Texid. Currently, I am taking Ecosprin, LMWH 0.4 ml, Susten, and some multivitamins.
