Fell off my bike and hurt my hand. I got a TT shot and some ointment from the doctor, but they didn't do any dressing on the wound. Should I have it dressed, or is it okay to leave it as is?

View allMy 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?
regular breathing exercises, drink warm water, check BP and blood sugar regularly

I'm really worried because I've been feeling pretty awful this week with a fever and body aches that are making it hard for me to even walk. I've been taking Paracetamol but it's not helping much, and now I've got a runny nose too. What could be going on and should I be doing something different to feel better?
Given the severity of your symptoms, including fever, body ache, weakness, inability to walk, and running nose, despite taking Paracetamol, it's essential to consult a doctor immediately to rule out underlying conditions

I've been experiencing some discomfort with a slight pain in my left rib area, and lately, I've started feeling cold and have a light cough with some mucus. I think the rib pain might be caused by my posture since I've been spending a lot of time working on my laptop. Could you offer some advice on what steps I should take to feel better?
Ecg and chest x-ray pa view is advised to the patient.
