AOA.Your CBC is within the normal ranges.What dose of deltacort are you taking? Have you taken any antibiotic? Start taking tablet myteca 5 mg daily at night,tablet Rovista at night.The reason for starting Rovista is not to lower your lipid counts, in recent studies it has been shown to help control the inflammatory stages of COVID. Any other symptoms of late?
