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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm really concerned about my husband's health. He recently got his blood test results and his B12 level is really low at 119. The doctor recommended he take a Hosit tablet every day and mix Convales powder in water. He's been following this regimen for the past 10 days, but he hasn't noticed any improvement. We're wondering if this is the right treatment plan or if he should have had an injection to quickly get his B12 levels up to around 300. What do you think?
The prescribed medications, Hosit (cyanocobalamin) tablets and Convales powder, are oral supplements aimed at increasing vitamin B12 levels; however, given your husband's severe deficiency (119), an injection course might be more effective in rapidly raising levels to the desired range (200-300); consult his doctor to discuss the possibility of switching to injectable B12 or adding it to his current oral regimen.

I've been hearing a lot about using HCQ 200 MG as a way to boost immunity against Covid. I'm wondering if it's safe to take it twice a week for that purpose. Could this really help, and are there any risks I should be aware of? I'm curious because I've seen mixed opinions online and want to make sure it's a good idea before considering it.
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is not recommended for use as a preventive measure against Covid-19. It is important to follow guidelines from health authorities and consult with a healthcare professional for the most appropriate preventive measures.
