Covid high grade fever 5 days

2021-05-10 08:58:41
I am suffering from high grade fever ~102 after testing positive for RT-PCR for last 4 days. I am taking dolo 650mg after every 4 - 5 hours but the fever is not coming down. Also taking all other medications prescribed. Is this an emergency and what needs to be done next?
