Will the symptoms reduce ? Go away?
We are scared of covid.
He is generally a healthy and active person.

Hello ,
The symptoms your father is showing might very well be COVID ! In the setting of a pandemic it’s imperative you rule that out by testing because eventually it’s not only about him but also the people who have been in touch with him needs testing if he’s positive !
On either case of positive or negative he will need treatment under the supervision of a specialist physician ! Online consultation in case of positive is the go ahead !
Till the reports come have him drink plenty of fluids orally , tab paracetamol 1000mg when fever and tab montair LC one tab at bedtime !
