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'm really worried because my husband tested positive for COVID two weeks ago. He went into home quarantine right away and also had a CT scan done of his chest. Right now, he only has a cough and some congestion. There's no fever or trouble breathing so far. Is there something specific I should be doing or looking out for to make sure he's handling it okay?

do regular breathing exercises

I'm really worried because someone I know tested positive for Covid and had symptoms. But after about 5 days, the symptoms went away. Do we really need to do another Covid test now, or is it okay to skip it since theyre feeling better? I'm just unsure if there's a risk, so some guidance would be really helpful.

no need

I'm trying to figure out what the normal body temperature is. At what point should I start worrying that it's actually a fever? Also, when is it appropriate to consider taking paracetamol? I'm feeling a bit confused about it.

if it crosses 100 use paracetmol
