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.
