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'm really concerned because I had the first symptoms of COVID back on May 7th, and while I had mild symptoms like occasional moderate fevers and a cough for over 10 days, I've mostly recovered now. However, I still get a mild cough and sometimes my temperature goes up to around 99 degrees, but it happens only once every three days or so, usually at night and it's better by morning. Is this something I should be worried about? Sometimes thinking about it reminds me of long COVID and all the scary stories I've heard about people having serious issues even months later. I have a history of cardiophobia which was under control until I got COVID, and now those anxious thoughts about heart attacks and strokes are creeping back again. Could this be related or should I just brush it off?
donot worry , if there are any other comorbidites then you should worry

I'm worried because my fever hasn't gone away in five days, and my platelet count has dropped to 94,000. I've been on a drip for these five days, but there's no change in the fever. What could be going on, and what should I do next?
