I've been dealing with a sore throat that sometimes hurts a bit when I swallow, plus I've got this pain in my left shoulder. I've also been feeling pretty weak for about 5 days now. Should I be worried about this combination of symptoms, and do you think I need to see a doctor?

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?
