My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?

Is there anything I should be worried about with my lymphocytes count being a little high at 43? I recently had a blood test done and it showed that my HIV duo test was non-reactive, which I did on March 1st. Right now, I'm taking medication for a fungal infection. I've been having some itching in certain areas, but there are no rashes, although it sometimes turns red after I scratch. Should I be concerned about these changes or is it just the medication working?
