I'm really worried because my maid has been with us for the last 45 days, and she just called to say she has diarrhoea and a fever. Could it be COVID-19? She mentioned she walked home in the hot sun, drank cold water, and ate a lot of watermelon yesterday, and now she's just dealing with diarrhoea. Do you think all of us should get tested for COVID?

Question

I've been having fevers off and on and it's been accompanied by weakness, body aches, and shortness of breath. Sometimes my eyes get really itchy too. When my fever hits, my throat gets sore and I have this really annoying pain in my legs, especially below the knees and around my feet. I've noticed these symptoms reduce a bit when I take the EBASIL tablets my doctor gave me. Also, I work as a civil engineer so I'm constantly around dust. Could this be affecting my symptoms? Should I be worried about what's causing all this?

Question

I'm really worried about my friend who's dealing with dengue fever. He's getting treatment right now, and I'm curious about how long it'll take for him to feel better. His platelet count is okay, but he's still running a high fever around 103-104. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I've got my lab report back, and it's showing some high levels that I'm concerned about. My RBC count is at 5.57, the total leucocyte is 12.0, lymphocytes are at 52.8, and the absolute lymphocyte is sitting at 6.34. The high-sensitive C-reactive protein is 4.6 too. I've also had shoulder pain for the last week, which is why I got tested. Could you help me understand what these high levels mean? Should I be worried about my heart health with these results?
