Urgently help required for one of my rel
One of my relative is having gastric problem since last week. He has diabetes and hypertension since last 10 years...After consultation with local doctor we have done CT scan, Blood test, Kidney function test. CT score is 2/25 which suggest mild covid19 infection, sugar level is also fluctuating and sometimes it went upto 450 except all other reports are normal. He is taking medicines since one week but there is no recovery and not able to eat anything due to gastric issues...from today morning we saw swelling on his left leg...
We don't know what we should do in this situation and patient condition is getting critical..
Can anyone please suggest and advise what we should do in this situation?
