So in CT scan done yesterday the reports came as CORADS4/5 . SYMPTOMS STARTED from 21st Aug. Fever is subsiding gradually . Cough is there but today less. Doctor suggesting hospitalization but she being very old, cannot manage and is in shock of going to hospital. We are getting oxygen cyclinder tomorrow for precautions. CRP is 8.2 out of 6 mg/l. We are in dilemma nd tension. Is hospitalization really required or can we isolate and treat her at home. Am panicking. Please help. Also oxygen level is fluctuating between 88-91. Doctor prescribed Ceftas, cetfast, zinc, vitamin c nd probiotics.

If it was my patient I would still advice the same as your doctor. It's a thin line between scarity for suffered and safety of family. Please decide quickly.
