High feaver , coughing , pain in body
Hi
My grandmother age is around 70 .
She is shaving fever , cough and body pain .
I am worried about her doctors are not allowing us as they directly said that do the covid 19 test first . I have done her test today but it will take almost 48 hours for the report .
Until then her condition will get even worse if we don't treat her . Please suggest some good medicine for her fever and cough. For cough any syrups can be used?
Please note two three days before she had a stomach problem too.
Her ecg was normal.and suger test was also normal . Her oxygen level was below 90 around 85. Hoping some help from here .
Thank you

Give her nebulisation or atleast steam inhalation 2-3 times per day. If condition doesn't improve in next 12 hrs, admit her.
