Welcome to Marham,
Now Current values of C reactivate protein is required, we need to compare Current CRP & CBC with previous CRP & CBC.
Further more has he developed covid pneumonia or not.
I think he is in the phase of post covid illness & it may persist up to 3 months.
ESR can remain high and reduce slowly even the patient is recovering, this is the reason CRP is more accurate to decide recovery.
