Post covid symptoms
I am getting post covid symptoms like little bit cough and my doctor has prescribed medrol because my CRP value is 11.57 and d-dimer is 0.6. Is blood thinner required always with steroid like medrol 16 mg twice a day. I had small red bumps on my hands and feet during my covid journey, and some of these are still there. Is there a relation between these red bumps/spots and blood thinner that because of this blood thinner shouldn't be given?
