COVID Positive patient
Persistent fever since last 8 days (101 currently) with dry cough and some chest pain.
On medication. Oxygen level - 94
By when would the fever go? Home remedies for recovery other than having kadha, gargles.
Without your address it is hard to know the clustering of covid cases around you. As a rule of thumb we are treating every fever and cough case as potential covid unless proven otherwise.
If it is covid , you need to get a RTPCR done to be sure as your O2sats are below 95.
Fever and cough can subside from anywhere between 5 days to 15 days in my experience.
There are some unconfirmed reports of betadine gargle helping to fight off covid , if you are looking for homw remedies
Next Steps
please seek immediate help if saturation decreases further.
also try not to depend on home remedies if saturation decreases or if you feel breathlessness.
get professional help immediately.
also if you are a cardiac (heart) patient then seek help immediately if the chest pain persists. Check in with your local cardiologist anyways if the problem persists
Health Tips
Do not ignore simple issues like chest pain or mild breathlessness. They might become severe.
