Hello, my Father has got infected with Covid-19 (reports came positive yesterday with CT value as 16) and has fever since 7-8 days, temperature is between 100 to 101. He is Diabetic and is on diabetes medication since many years. Covid Vaccination both doses already completed few months ago. We have now started with his Covid medications and following Home Quarantine. His Oxygen level is 9899 and heart beats between 71-80 and he has cough and cold. We are monitoring his condition at home however we needed to know if we should consider getting Lungs CT Scan done or it is not required. Kindly advise, we are getting concerned as he is a Diabetic patient and been a week that fever is still there.
Yes,patient is advised a CT scan for further management.
