Usage of remedisivir injections
Sir/Mam! Madam! My husband is covid positive and his hrct test has 12points and corods 5 and IL-6 is 17.86. He is having a symptom of only fever and admitted to hospital on 8th day of fever, even after using the 5 days course of medicine For my husband only 5 remedisivir injections were done out of 6 and tomorrow he is going to be discharged. Is the 6 injections a course? Or there is no constraint on the number of injections? Are the 6 remedisiver injections to be given compulsorily?

Yes , completing the course of Inj Remdesivir is important. There is no point in continuing Inj Remdesivir beyond 6 days, the course is only for 5-6 days.
Next Steps
If fever persists, subsequent addition of Doxycycline , ivermectin or favipiravir can help.
