COVID positive persistent cough

2021-05-04 10:44:17
My kid is 2 months old and is diagnosed with COVID. He is having cough since 8 days. The medication doctor has given is Z&D Drops, Astymin C, syp Rantac, Clamp drops, VIT D3, Maxtra, Nasoclear. It has reduced the cough but not cured completely. I am worried if the infection is more.Please suggest when to go for CT scan to understand the level of infection? Oximeter reading is 98.
