I'm just wondering if it's alright to take a head bath with hot water when you have a fever, or maybe the day after if the fever's gone down. It's winter right now, so would that make any difference? I want to make sure I'm doing what's best for my body to recover.

My mom tested positive for COVID five days ago. Right now, she only has a mild fever and feels weak. I attached her chest X-ray report. She's been taking favipiravir, ivermectin, azithral, doxycycline, zinc, and vitamin C. Should we keep going with this treatment, or think about switching to other medications?
