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.

CRP 503 is very high, indicating active inflammation. You may need re evaluation by a rheumatologist. Biologic DMARDs (e.g. Etanercept, Adalimumab) may be considered.

Hi Doctor, I have been a primary contact of two COVID positive patients. I have tested negative by RTPCR and HRCT, and my blood reports are normal. However, I have been experiencing a persistent fever of up to 102F for the past three days. I do not have any other symptoms. I am currently taking Calpol 650 three times a day, along with zinc and vitamin C supplements. Could you please advise if this is concerning and how I should proceed with this condition?

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 am 13 weeks pregnant and had a fever. The doctor gave me a blood test, and I am sending my report. I have a low TWBC count in my blood. Is this a problem for me or my baby?
