He has a high wbc count and xray has white fluffy shadows (pneumonia) in the left lung.
Please monitor saturation thrice a day. Any value below 94 at rest or walking is a sign for urgent hospitalization.

Fever with cough is considered as covid nowadays inspired of negative test report. It is not vaccine related as it is persisting for 10 -12 days. Better to start covid medicines and blood report shows mild infection only. He is anemic too. Need to correct his hemoglobin. You can take a hrct chest to see his lung infection status.
