My dad has been dealing with covid and it's been about 6 days now. He's running a fever, peaking at 100F every 24 hours, and his oxygen levels are fluctuating between 93 and 97. He's had a cough even before this, but it seems to have gotten a bit worse since the covid diagnosis. While he's quarantined at home and mostly okay, he does mention feeling short of breath at times. What should we be doing to make sure he's on the right track health-wise?

I'm feeling really tired after work lately, and my memory seems to be getting weaker. I've also noticed some bone pain and I think it might be related to a vitamin deficiency like B12 or D6, which I've seen in earlier reports but didn't pay much attention to. Which type of doctor should I visit to get this checked out?
You should consult a **general physician** or a **nutritionist** to address your vitamin deficiencies. They can help with diagnosis and provide a treatment plan, which may include vitamin supplements or dietary adjustments. If needed, they might refer you to a specialist, such as an **endocrinologist** or **rheumatologist**, depending on your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my dad. He just spent the past week dealing with a bad cough, cold, and viral fever, and his temperature even got up to 102.4 degrees. Now hes feeling super weak, dizzy, and a bit nauseous. What should we do about this?
Your father's symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and nausea could be due to post-viral fatigue. To help him feel better, he can take Paracetamol for fever and body aches. He can also take Ondansetron for nausea. Additionally, it is important for him to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If his symptoms persist or worsen, he should seek medical attention.
