Second week symptoms for covid
My parents tested for covid and have mild symptoms so far. It has been 5-6 days, and they have mild sore throat, mild cough and weakness. They are on doctor prescribed medication and oxygen is at 98-99. But now that they are starting second week, can symptoms go worse? Both have high BP, Diabetes and father has pacemaker. They did CRP and ESR blood tests at the start of symptoms, and both were not very high. Please suggest. Should they go for CT scan? Anything to do now as second week is starting?

In the new strain of virus, start of second week is more risky as compared to 1st.
One must watch out for oxygen saturation and blood reports on regular basis to know where the body is going.
Also keep your diabetes n hypertension in control throughout the course.
Crp and esr are reports which keep on changing regularly in body. Constant watch over them is necessary to see the body's response.
Consider consulting for detail check up and review
