Covid 19 takes about 15 days to recover initially , from the day first symptom has started. At his age he needs to be undersupervision of a doctor for at least a month.

Since his Crp is marginally elevated he will need other medicines besides Reswas and paracetamol. Cough is very common in covid bronchitis. As long as oxygen levels are good we have nothing to worry.
Next Steps
High protein diet and hydrate well
Deep breathing exercises only
Health Tips
Avoid spicy food and cold drinks
Do not do steam inhalation
