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?

When is the right time to take Meftal Forte if you have a fever? How many times a day is it okay to take it? Should I only use it when I actually have a fever or is there another guideline to follow?
You can use it twice in a day at a gap of 10-12 hrs.

I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?
