Question 1

I've been having these mild cold symptoms that seem viral and maybe a bit allergic, like a runny nose and sneezing a lot for the past 10 days. My doctor suggested a blood test, including CRP, CBC, SGPT, SGOT, and Ferritin, to check if these could indicate COVID-19. All my blood test results came back normal except my Basophils Count is at 0, PCT at 0.187, and SGOT (AST Serum IFCC) at 50. I'm curious, is this blood test enough to understand what's going on, or should I consider a RAT for COVID or even a CT scan? I'm feeling a bit unsure about the next steps and would appreciate your advice.
