Hrct finding reveal corads v and ct severity score is 11/25. His oxygen level is fine right now and it?s been 2 weeks he has fever.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Fever, muscle aches, and dry cough are likely caused by a viral infection such as influenza (flu). Fever and a stuffed up head is likely due to another viral infection, the common cold. Fever with a cough that produces colored sputum may be pneumonia. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
