My mother is covid positive. She is 53. First four days she had a fever ranges between 99 to 101. And gradually it goes to 99 on 4th day. Today it's her 5th day and she has 101 fever. Her CT value is 17.60. she also has cold feeling chills at times. What to do? Is there anything to worry about?

Fever and chills are usually seen in initial 5-6 days in covid.However point of concern would be her oxygen saturation levels.Kindly monitor the oxygen level and keep a record.in case of deterioration ,you are advised to immediately contact the doctor, if oxygen levels are fine she can be on medication at home. I would also suggest to get her blood tests done
