CT value is not something to ponder much upon.
It's a technical value to the test.
Treatment doesn't depend on the CT Value.
So, first of all, don't worry just because CT value is 18.
Second, the treatment will depend upon your symptoms.
Irrespective of your ailments
I would suggest to mantain adequate hydration, monitor your vital regularly, eat healthy & fresh.
Avoid large gathering, mantain social distance
Next Steps
Consult Someone if you feel any discomfort.

COVID 19 is a mild viral infection and doesn't need any antibiotic or anti viral.
Medicine if needed will depend on symptoms.
Not all patient need medication and also not all standard medications will be required for all patients.
Adequate hydration, rest, paracetamol if fever or bodyache is the basic treatment.
Watch for palpitation, chest pain and breathlessness.
Home isolation for total seven days from date of positive covid test report.
Maintain standard droplet precautions and hand hygiene at home.
Watch for any new symptoms after recovery also.
Next Steps
Consult doctor for prescription
