I'm really worried about my dad. He's diabetic and has high blood pressure, with a reading of 180100, and his sugar level is at 274. He's also got a fever and a cold. I've given him Crocin, but after 30 minutes, his temperature is still 101.4 and there's no improvement. He's feeling super weak, and I'm just not sure what medication would be best to give him. Any advice?

I'm having a hard time finding Zincovit in my area. Could you recommend any other alternatives that might work as a preventive measure against COVID-19? I'm really hoping to find something similar if possible.

As substitutes for Zincovit, consider the following zinc and multivitamin supplements to support immune function and potentially help prevent severe COVID-19 symptoms: Becozinc, Zinconia, Zinccee, Supradyn, or Revital

My husband has been in the hospital for the past two days with a fever of 101, a sore throat, and weakness. He even fainted because his blood pressure was low, and his pulse was only 58. His oxygen saturation levels have been fluctuating between 87 and 89, but with oxygen, its between 92 and 94. We've had several tests, and I'm really concerned about his interleukin IL-6 levels, which came back at 290. I've attached the report for reference. Could you explain what this value means and what side effects he might experience? What precautions should we be taking right now?
