Diabetic mother suffering from covid
My mom caught covid. She doesn't feel hungry, is feeling extremely weak and has too much body pain. I have checked her pulse which is ok and oxygen varies from 95-98. She took zolodric and flerenjet injections last week (FYI) due to calcium and iron deficiencies before catching covid. Right now she is taking Martifur MR as she has UTI and Montek LC and cough syrup. Shall I get her admitted or continue medicines at home.

Keep monitoring her temperature and oxygen level. Ask her to do Gurgling with salt water and take steam inhalation twice a day. Continue the diabetic medications as advised and ask her to avoid citrus fruits and avoid taking heavy meal.
For loss of appetite you can give Betonin AST syrup which is sugar free along with that for cough you can give Ascoril D Plus syrup which is also sugar free.
In case of emergency admit her in emergency for further evaluation.
