Covid. Lung infection

2021-05-13 03:38:56
I am grade 4 High, Conrad scale in Hrct. Steroid treatment is started on 12 th May. My first day of symptoms was 6th May. HRCT done on 11th. My fever remained high and 12th evening was the fist time it came down to normal. But today early morning again it spiked to 101.3. My spo2 is consistently holding 97-98. Today is my 8th day of Covid. Wish to know: Q1: In normal circumstances how long steroids take to control the fever & infection? Q2: In this condition of severity, is a situation of drop in spo2 possible and is it a likely scenario? If yes it may happen on which day? Regards

Covid has a high variable time of response.its difficult to comment when the saturation can drop. Steriods can give instant result, but the completed course of action might take up 5 days. Depending upon the severity of ct scoring and the ct scan report one can give better statement. Different people respond to steroids differently. For detailed opinion consult is required.
