Covid positive
My father is covid positive since 27th April
He has only cold and cough problem
His oxygen saturation is :97-99
CRP is 02
Near by doctor suggest him a stroids (mectoil 16mg)
But patient is diabetic

Do not start oral steroids.
It would be better to start inhalational steroids as this is a mild case. Kindly consult and review the treatment.
For full guidance, prescription and follow up take a paid instant consultation. Hope that helps. You can even video consult directly via what sapp on 9999x104x408
