My father aged 59 years with no comorbidities and taken 2 doses of covaxin. He was suffering from cough , fever , chills and cold after 14 days he is again having fever and chills but slight cough with no cold. But once test is done , we came to know his crp level is 84mg/dl. How can we interpret whether it's a typhoid or covid without doing rtpcr and widal test

Rtpcr test is the golden standard test, for covid.widal, for Typhoid.covid can also be suspected by Ct scan.Ct chest also tells,what is there in the lungs.Crp is not specific. It only says some inflammatory process is present in the body.pl always follow the golden standard rules.
