Your father may be very well suffering from COVID 19 . Along with this symptoms you need to specify if he is suffering from any comorbidities and if he’s taking any regular medicines . Wait for the COVID test reports and consult a specialist physician online ! Meanwhile you can keep him on tab paracetamol 1000mg of fever and tab montair LC at bedtime along with multivitamins and micro mineral capsules ! Maintain strict isolation even before the results of the test arrives and get everyone including the family members who have been in touch with him recently tested for COVID.
Next Steps
Online consultation with a specialist physician if COVID positive
