Post covid recovery
I was tested positive for Covid on May 16 and recovered. My CRP was 98mg/L on the third day and as doctor prescribed I used dexon for 1 week, CRP came down to 12mg/L Now, 5 days before, I checked for CRP and it increased and is 48mg/L. Again the consulting doctor suggested to use Taxim O 200mg medicines for 5 days. Should I use antibiotics again as I had already taken steroids ? Won't it reduce my immunity further and lead to fungal infections(Black fungus)? Other doctor said no need to use any medicines for high CRP, it will come down slowly. Now I'm so confused whether to use Taxim O medicines or not? Will the CRP level will come down gradually on its own? Please clear my doubts.
