My mother has a loss of appetite and weakness for more than 12 days. Are these due to COVID-19?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is difficult to comment about COVID depending upon the above investigations. If she is having breathing difficulty, cough, and loss of smell and taste suggestive of the above diagnosis. But confirmation by COVID RT PCR and HRCT chest. The above investigations are showing elevated LDH (lactate dehydrogenase), CRP (C-reactive protein) levels. They also elevated any inflammatory response in the body. COVID is also an inflammation so that they will elevate. Other tests to be considered are serum ferritin, D-dimer, and IL (interleukin) 6 levels. Generalized weakness sometimes may be due to electrolyte imbalance, heatstroke, malnutrition or gastritis, etc. So give her plenty of liquids, use ORS solution. Please review with above investigations or consult with your physician. He will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
