COVID affected
My husband is down with body pain and tiredness for the past 4 days. (His father has tested positive yesterday-28 May). We believe he also is COVID positive. The RTPCR test will be done on Monday(31st). He is currently taking Azithromycin since yesterday -28 May. His SpO2 level is 97 now. I'm concerned because he already has wheezing and breathlessness problems. (We are 9 of us in the family. 2 kids are also down with fever so we are isolating ourselves). I want to consult with Dr to get his suggestion since he is in home quarantine and what should be the path forward.

Your suspicion about his being covid positive is absolutely correct and you must get not only him but other exposed member throwing some symptoms.
As if now you have to manage his pain and tiredness by medications and other symptoms which ever comes.
Do not panic in this situation as it may worsen the situation for your family members.
Take your decisions wisely.
Take consultation by a doctor.
