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?

I'm really worried because she's been running a fever for the past six days. We had a CT scan done, and the severity score came back at 925. Should we be considering hospitalization?

I've just had my first dose of the Covishield vaccine and a few hours later, my heartbeat got really fast. Later at night, I started feeling back pain and body pain. Could these be side effects of the vaccine? I've also taken Dolo 650 to help. What should I do now?
