Asked for Female, 30 Years

Hi, my husband is covid positive on 14th may and experiencing fever with mild cough for last 5 days and tiredness for last 10 days. His Ct in covid report was 19. His CT scan finding was CO RADS 4/6 and CT severity score was 0 - 25%. CT scan mentions patchy consolidation with reticular thickening in upper and lower lobes.

As per the details you have given he is in Mild to moderate category of Covid infection and he seems stable as of now. Inflammatory markers are better to be done(CRP, S. Ferritin, D-Dimer, IL6). If fever and cough persists for more than 5 days he can be started on inhaled steroids-MDI with spacer. Anyway check oxygen level 3 to 4 times daily.
