Since his Crp is marginally elevated he will need other medicines besides Reswas and paracetamol. Cough is very common in covid bronchitis. As long as oxygen levels are good we have nothing to worry.
Next Steps
High protein diet and hydrate well Deep breathing exercises only
Health Tips
Avoid spicy food and cold drinks Do not do steam inhalation
