Remedesevir may benefit only till upto 10days of disease. Of there is worsening of symptoms or fall in sp02 below 93, get admitted and labs and scans will be required. Do not self medicate with steroids etc
Next Steps
Monitor symptoms. Awake proning most important. 2hrs on stomach then 30min on each lateral. Sit up at 45 degree angle maximum. Minimise lying supine.

First of all WHO has issued a conditional recommendation against the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients, regardless of disease severity, as there is currently no evidence that remdesivir improves survival and other outcomes in these patients.
Next Steps
Fabiflu 1800mg twice daily on day 1 and then continue 800mg twice for next 7 day
Health Tips
Consult me for further treatment and share investigations like CRP D-Dime CBC LFT KFT

If he is maintaining oxygen saturation by his own. And his Ct scan took place after 6 days of illness. Then it's not needed.
