ESR value 108 - Typhoid or Corona ?
My mother had recurrent low grade fever (around 98-100) for 3-4 days. With paracetamol, fever went down. She had Headache and heaviness in head feeling. Loss of appetite. Smell and taste is not affected. However, a bitter taste is there when eating vegetables. Extreme weakness and fatigue now. Her SPo2 remains around 90%. Doctor suggested to go for typhoid. ESR is 108 and neutrophil is also increased. Please find Reports attached. Based on report, he said "halka typhoid hai". I'm worried, if she has corona.

As her oxygen saturation is on a lower side with false positive widal report and hence it is highly favouring COVID19 disease and hence its better if you can contact the government authorities for admission as a suspected case of COVID19 disease which needs to be confirmed by a RTPCR swab test for COVID19
