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.

Your CRP and D dimer improved, good response. Now reduce steroids as prescribed. For immunity, take vitamin C, D3, zinc, and a balanced diet. Gradual taper is important to prevent adrenal suppression.
Dr. Shaik Suggests...
Take a CBC+ESR Test or Take a Vitamin D Test Test

View allPatchy inflammation in both upper lobes as I was detected covid positive twenty days earlier. Now my report is negative but I still have some heaviness in the chest. CRP is 11.10 and IL6 is 23.58. Should I go for steroids as suggested by doctors or should I wait and manage with steaming and turmeric milk. Will I recover on my own?

I went to a GP on the first day itself, and he prescribed antibiotics for 7 days. However, some symptoms like ear pain, headache, yellowish mucus, and upper jaw pain are still present even after completing the medicine. My initial symptoms were high fever, blood in mucus from nose and mouth, yellowish mucus, sore throat, one-sided ear and headache, and upper jaw pain. X ray report: Both maxillary sinuses are hazy Blood report: Monocytes: 1 percent MCH: 26.6 pg SGPT: 49 U/L CRP Tubilatex: 2.4 (All other parameters are normal) Please tell me what to do next and what these results mean?
