Coronavirus
My mother has persistent fever since the day she tested positive for covid ( i.e. the 23rd of may ) around 10 pm her temperature was 102 so we gave her a tablet Dolo. We also put tap water dipped compress on her forehead, now her temperature is 100°F
Is this an emergency? Should we get her admitted to the hospital right now? Spo2 is 93.

Ok, if fever doesn't come down or goes up give one tablet of Nise 100. Check the Spo2 once again following these steps:
Please sit straight with comfortable backrest. Take few sips of water and relax yourself. Take few deep breaths for 1-2 minutes from your mouth. Then with a relaxed mind, place your middle finger in the oxygen meter. Please make sure your nail is not overgrown. Maintain the finger steadily in the oxygen meter do not shake it. Take the reading.
If oxygen level drops or her symptoms aggravate contact emergency services.
If not see in person or video consult a doctor in the morning on priority. Wishing her speedy recovery.
