CT score 8

2021-05-06 16:13:33
Today is the 9th day since my cousin got covid symptoms. He does not have comorbidities. Today's reports: CRP:11 Platelets: 205000 WBC: 5040 CT Scan score: 8/25 His resting oxygen level is 96-98. After 6 minute walk test, it falls to 94. He coughs only when he walks or climb stairs for few minutes. Otherwise, no other symptoms at all. The doctor after seeing today's reports, did not prescribe steroids. He was given blood thinner. I am looking for second opinion. Does he needs steroids?

No steroids. Steroids only when his saturation falls below 93% at rest.
