I'm really worried because my roommate has been dealing with swine flu for the past couple of days. What steps should I take to protect myself? Is there a specific vaccine that's recommended?

View allIs there any connection between CRP levels and getting the COVID vaccine? And if there is, what CRP level should I be looking out for? Also, are there other things I should keep an eye on before getting vaccinated?
CRP (C-reactive protein) is not directly related to covid vaccination. However, it can be used as a marker of inflammation in the body. There is no specific CRP value that determines eligibility for covid vaccination. Before taking the vaccine, it is important to check for any allergies to vaccine components, previous adverse reactions to vaccines, and any current illnesses or infections. It is also recommended to inform the healthcare provider about any medications being taken, especially immunosuppressive medications.

I've had this lymph node that got swollen after a fever a couple of years ago, and I used to press it a lot back then. I just recently got tested for HIV and VDRL, both came back negative, and I feel good overall, like my weight's normal and all. Do you think the swelling could be from pressing it too much back then, or could there be something else going on that's more serious?
That could be reactive lymphnode for your infection,visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management

My dad suddenly got a fever last night, and it was at 101. I gave him some medicine, but the fever only went down to 100.4 and stayed like that all night. Now it's shot up to 103, and I tried giving him Dolo 650, but it's not helping. Can you help me figure out what's causing the fever?
Do blood test
