Fever, bodypains
5 days back She suffered with fever and bodypains for two days but now she is fine but she is weak now. 3 days back she went for corona rapid test , it was positive but she is doing good. She went for swab test also waiting for the result.
My doubt is do we need to start covid medication for her or not?
