I'm really worried because I tested positive for COVID-19 on April 20th and now I just have a mild cough, but my CRP levels came back at 17.08, which seems high since the clinical range is 5. My sons D-dimer is at 293 ngmL while the range is 198, although his CRP is fine. What can we do to bring these levels down? Any advice or treatment options would be greatly appreciated.

I'm dealing with a cold and cough and am unsure about what kind of meals would be best to eat right now. Also, I'm trying to avoid citrus fruits, so I'm wondering which fruits would be good alternatives. Can I drink coconut water during this time too?

When having a cold and cough, opt for warm, nourishing meals like chicken soup, vegetable broths, and easy-to-digest foods like rice, bananas, and toast; for fruits, consider alternatives to citrus fruits like apples, grapes, and mangoes, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants; coconut water can be consumed in moderation, as it provides hydration and electrolytes, but be mindful of its high sugar content.
