I'm really worried about my mom's health. About a year ago, her B12 levels were found to be around 1800 pgml, but the doctor didn't really look into it much. She recently had Chikungunya, and her CBC showed a high TLC of 14300 cellsmcmm with high polymorphs at 78 and low lymphocytes at 11. Her kidney function was normal, but her liver tests showed SGPT at 40 and alkaline phosphatase at 325. I read online that high B12 levels can be linked to some serious diseases. She's 5 ft tall, weighs 52 kg, and doesn't have any current medical issues. Do you think I should be concerned and possibly get her checked out by a doctor?

My body has heat problem. To reduce body heat, you can try taking Tab. Paracetamol 500mg twice a day after meals. Also, make sure to drink plenty of water, wear loose and breathable clothing, and avoid spicy and oily foods. Additionally, you can try applying a cool compress to your forehead and neck to help lower your body temperature.

Is 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.
