Hi Team,
My Mother and Grandmother both are Diabetic and had covid symptoms like loss of smell, fever, body pain etc. we couldn’t get their RTPCR coz lack of resources in small town. Its been 3 weeks and they are still recovering with no fever. But my grandmother is still having cough from past 2 weeks, CT scan is done and diagnosed with mild infection in her chest.
And My mother is having body pain, she is not able to get up from bed with mild fever sometimes. Kindly suggest, What needs to be done in this scenario.
Hi Pratibha. I'm Dr Deepti Gupta from MD helpline. Since it's already three weeks of symptoms, please continue with good diet, water intake, rest and light breathing exercises. For cough your grandmother can take any sugar free cough syrup. Steam and gargles will also help. For your mother she can take tablet paracetamol for fever/ body pain. If symptoms persist or worsen it is advisable to consult a local doctor as well so that necessary investigations and treatment can be done.
