My mother tested COVID+ on 28/08/20. She has not repeated the test. Her latest blood report shows CRP higher than 0.20 and serum ferritin 130 (screenshot attached). She still feels weak and has gastric issues. Could you please suggest some diet tips or a tonic to improve her strength?

Her CRP and ferritin look fine, weakness may just be post viral fatigue. Give high-protein soft meals (dal, eggs, paneer, curd, rice). Small, frequent meals with vitamin supplements help. Tonic like B complex with iron can support recovery. Rule out anemia or thyroid issues if fatigue continues.

Hi. I am suffering from heavy and prolonged periods after I missed my period last month. My pregnancy test report came negative. I got my periods after one month and it is heavy and almost 10 days now and not reducing. I have Tranexamic acid 500 mg and Mefenamic acid 250 mg tablets earlier given by my gynecologist with me. Can I take it to stop my periods? Can anyone please suggest the dosage for the same?
