I'm really worried about my mom who just tested positive for COVID yesterday with a ct value of 16. She's been having a dry cough and had a fever a couple of days ago. Our family doctor has prescribed some medicine, and her oxygen level has been steady at 99 throughout today. Should we stick with the current meds, or is it better to see another doctor for her COVID treatment?

I've been getting B12 injections and I've already taken a couple in my buttocks, but they're just too painful. Can I switch to getting the rest in my arm instead, or is it better to stick with the buttocks? If sticking with the buttocks is the way to go, do you have any tips on how to make it hurt less?
