My dad is 59 and has diabetes. He's had a fever for the past 8-10 days and just tested positive for COVID-19. Though he hasn't had any breathing issues so far, his temperature has been normal for the last 36 hours. He takes Cetanil T every morning and Glycomet SR. Right now, he's very weak and has a dry cough. I'm really worried and don't know what to do next. I'm from Nimta, Kolkata. Could you please guide me?

I've noticed my total protein level is 8.6, with albumin at 4.5 and globulin at 4.1. Should I be worried about these elevated protein levels? Do you think its necessary for me to consult a doctor about this?
With a total protein of 8.6, albumin of 4.5, and globulin of 4.1, your protein levels are actually within the normal range (total protein: 6.4-8.9 gdL, albumin: 3.5-5.5 gdL, globulin: 2.0-3.5 gdL), so consultation with a doctor may not be necessary unless you have underlying medical conditions or symptoms that warrant further evaluation.

I'm a bit confused about these medications. Is Pentids 400 mg the same as Erythromycin 250 mg in terms of their content? Should I be worried about taking either of them?
No, Pentids 400 mg contains Penicillin G Potassium, which is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Erythromycin 250 mg contains Erythromycin, which is also an antibiotic but belongs to a different class. It is important to note that these two medications are not the same and have different mechanisms of action. It is advisable to take them as prescribed by your healthcare provider to avoid any potential drug interactions or adverse effects.
