Test doubt
Why we want to take CRP test, D dimmer, and chest scan test? After covid in how many days have to take? After for what symptoms have to take these test. Because I tested positive on 20th May. Took tablets for 5days. Now it's 21st day from my symptoms. I asked my doctor he said don't want to take any test. Check sp02 level
My sp02 is always 95.is it any problem?

If spo2 is normal, no tests are needed.
Blood tests within the first 15 days of symptoms onset Indicate severity of infection.
Ct scan tells about severity of pneumonia.
In people who maintain oxygen saturation levels, BUT are high risk : diabetic, asthmatic, smoker, elderly
are asked to specifically do blood tests as their conditions can worsen very quickly.
Next Steps
since you do not have any risk factors and maintain normal saturation, no need of further tests. ✌
