My dad got the second dose of Covishield and now he's having some symptoms like fever, body aches, and a mild cough. It's been 11 days, and even though he isolated himself and started taking Azithromycin and Ivermectin, he's still feeling pretty sick. His HRCT chest scan shows ground glass opacities and some consolidation, mostly in the basal and subpleural areas, with a severity score of 1125. His oxygen levels are around 94-97. I'm really worried, and Im not sure what to do next. What should our course of action be?

I'm a bit worried because I had a chest X-ray on May 20, which was all clear. But then another X-ray on July 1 showed tenting of the left hemi diaphragm. Can someone explain what this means and if I should be concerned? I was COVID positive on April 9, and I haven't been vaccinated yet. Plus, my heart rate is pretty high, and I'm experiencing chest pain. What should I do next?
