Can I still take a bath if I've tested positive for COVID? I've heard that those who have the virus are sometimes told not to bathe. Also, is it okay to wash my hair?

It's generally safe to bathe if you're COVID-positive, as long as you take precautions like avoiding hot water that could strain your body. As for washing your hair, you can do so, but try to avoid overexerting yourself and make sure to rest afterward if you feel weak. Always follow your doctor's advice for the best care.

I've just recovered from a viral fever, but during that time, my CRP levels shot up to 25. I took medicine for about six days and got retested; now it's down to 5.27. I read online that CRP levels above 3 could indicate a risk of heart disease. Should I be worried about my current level? Could it still be elevated because of the fever, or does it say something about my heart health? Is it usual for CRP to be slightly higher after a viral infection?

Raise in crp indicates recent infection no need to worry consume vitamin rich foods and stay hydrated that will work
