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.

Post COVID low immunity can lead to secondary infections or inflammation. If blood markers like CRP or D dimer are high, further evaluation is needed. Please do the required inflammatory and infection tests if not already done.

Take a CRP Test (C - Reactive Protein) Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

I got my blood test report today and it shows that my CRP serum value is 9.00. I want to know what this indicates and how I can regulate it.

My RT PCR report is negative and I have completed 24 days in self isolation. Today I underwent a CRP test which shows Q 3.15 (0 to 6). I want to know the CRP measuring unit is mg/L, but my report shows 3.15 without a unit. Please tell me if this is a valid CRP report or not?
