I'm getting a bit worried about my brother's health. After a month of recovering from COVID, his LDH test shows a value of 282. I'm not sure if this is within the normal range. His CRP and D-Dimer results have come back normal, though. Should we be concerned about the LDH level, or is this something that can happen post-COVID?

Question

I've been feeling pretty awful for the past couple of days, like I've got this constant headache, and my body just feels so weak and tired. It's like I've got chills one minute, then I'm all tingly and aching all over the next. I can't seem to get comfortableI'm freezing sometimes and then super hot, and I've been sweating a lot. To top it all off, last night I threw up this really bitter yellow fluid. It's starting to worry me. Any idea what's going on with me?

Question

I'm a bit worried and wanted to see if I can get your advice. My family doctor told me to take ivermectin even though I don't have COVID, and she suggested taking a second dose three days after the first one. She mentioned that I should do this every month. I'm not sure if it's okay to take ivermectin twice a month like this when I'm not even sick with COVID. Is this safe?

Question

I've been having some weird symptoms and I'm really trying to figure out what's going on. Back on January 6th, I had some tests done that showed minor typhoid and a high TLC of 12500. I was on treatment for about two weeks, and afterwards my fever went away and my TLC went down to 11000. I felt pretty good then, but a few days later, I started feeling like I had a fever again, even though my temperature and BP were normal. Yesterday I noticed my temperature was 96.8, but it went back to normal on its own. This morning, the feverish feeling came back despite an okay temperature. I took a Dolo 650 after breakfast and felt better during the day, but then my fever spiked to 100.2 in the evening. I'm just at a loss about what's going on here. What could this be? Could you suggest which tests I should get done to find out why this keeps happening?
