Covid positive
Hi doc,
My husband developed 102 fever on 12th April and got covid positive result on 14th April (ct value for e gene-14,orf1a-13.29) .
He is on medications- Fabiflu, antibiotics, steroids, multivitamins, darolac as per doc advise in home isolation. Had blood tests done- ferritin was high with 811, lymphocytes, basophils were marginally low.
His fever was gone but after completion of Fabiflu course for 5 days, he again got a fever of axillary temp 99 yesterday. So he went for ct chest and his score is 11/25. Spo2 remains at 98/99. His antibiotics n steroids dose are increased now.
My question is it normal for fever to remain for this period or he needs hospitilaztion? Today is his 10th day post onset of symptoms.
Attaching his reports. Please check and let know. We are very tensed.

Continue checking oxygen levels. He doesn’t need hospitalisation . Fever should subside within 2-3 with new antibiotics as you said have started.
