COVID-19 home isolation medicines

2022-01-17 06:30:06
My mother aged 77 COVID positive Saturday with mild cough but extreme tieredness. Saturation was above 95%. Doctors suggested to home isolate and prescribed Antiflu 75mg, doxy 100 mg with some vitamin c tabs for five days. She is under tb treatment frm 4 months with negative culture reports. But family doc suggested favipiravir to be given for COVID 19 home isolated patients. Any suggestions which is right?

No need to take unnecessary medications. Continue your anti TB drugs, monitor saturation, take adequate rest, have plenty of water. Better to have a blood test done for covid markers.Do a pulmonologist consultation
