Covid+ Father fever not subsiding
Greetings
- My father is covid+, age-66
- He's vaccinated (one dose)
- This is his 9th day with mild fever (99-100). Only once today his fever got back to normal since onset
- LDH, CRP, D Dimer tests done
- LDH & D Dimer normal. CRP mildly elevated (actual value 8, normal range 0-6)
- Oxygen levels 97-99 on home test
- He's on azithromycin, Doxycycline, ivermectin, zinc, vit c and paracetamol medication
- Medication like Doxycycline and ivermectin started on 5th day and rest all started on 2nd day
Should I be worrying, since his fever is not subsiding?
Please suggest, what to do?
Shall I go for HRCT? Or just wait?

It would also depends on the day the tests were done. They are to be done at specific time for best results and need to be timely repeated. Do not get an hrct done abhi. Some blood tests are needed.
For full guidance, prescription and follow up take a paid instant consultation. Hope that helps. You can even video consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
