I'm really worried because my mom has had a dry cough for the past four days along with a sore throat. I found out that some people in her office tested positive for COVID, even though she wasnt in direct contact with them. Should we consider getting her tested for corona?

I've been feeling a bit worried and wanted to get your insight. I'm a 52-year-old female, and its been about 20 days since I had COVID. My recent tests showed a CRP level of 47 and ESR at 52. During the COVID illness, my ESR was at 50 but CRP was lower, like 0.20, 0.60, and then 3. Now it's at 46 after a week, and my D-dimer is reading 610. Should I be worried about these results? Would love to know what this could mean.

infection is reducing,give sometime to fully recover and levels will come normal

I've been having pain on the left side of my rib cage for about a week and just today I noticed there's an indent there. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will heal on its own? It's kind of freaking me out and I'm not sure what to do.
