My IL 6 level is 23.1 pg/mL and CRP is 44 mg/L. It is the 18th day since the onset of my COVID 19 symptoms. My oxygen saturation is between 92 to 94 percent. Could you please advise on the next steps and whether I need urgent medical attention?

Raised IL 6 and CRP suggest inflammation. Oxygen levels less than 94 percent need medical attention. Consult for possible steroid or oxygen support. Do not delay.

Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...

Take a INTERLEUKIN-6 (IL-6) Test or Take a C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (CRP) - QUANTITATIVE Test

Six days ago my sister developed a red spot in one eye. After two days, she started having fever in the evening only, with a maximum temperature of 99.6F, along with slight stomach upset. Her COVID test is negative. I have attached her blood report, done today. Her CRP is 0.38 and platelet count is 115. Please suggest whether this could be COVID or some other issue. Apart from the evening fever and slight stomach upset, her eye is perfectly fine and she has no other symptoms.

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 father received the Covaxin vaccine on 3rd April. For the past 15 days, he has had a fever ranging from 99 to 101F, which is partially relieved with Crocin. COVID antigen and RTPCR tests were negative. He is also experiencing shortness of breath (28 breaths per minute). His recent blood reports show: RBC: 2.1 million/microlitre Hemoglobin: 9.2 g/dl WBC: 14.4 by 10000/microlitre CRP: 217 Serum creatinine: 3.21 mg/dl Iron: 24 microgram/dl Bilirubin direct: 0.6 mg/dl Urine report is normal, with no pus or abnormalities, and he has no issues while passing urine. Could his continuous fever, shortness of breath, and anemia be due to kidney problems? Please advise what could be causing these symptoms and the next steps for evaluation and treatment.
