hello,
The medications you have mentioned are adequate for the symptoms.
Weakness and tiredness along with sleeping for a more time is seen commonly in patients with COVID-19.
Make sure he eats well balanced diet though he is having loss of apetite. Further, try to keep him well hydrated also with water and juices.
Next Steps
Considering his age, I urge you to keep monitoring his oxygen levels every 4-6 hours.
Keep him in isolation separately from the rest of the family members.
Health Tips
Get a consult or medical attention if oxygen levels drop, or if there is any difficulty in breathing.
