My father 70 has low grade fever (100-101) for a week now. He takes crocin twice, once at 12 pm and then again at 10 pm. He has sneezing and nasal congestion, and rarely coughs. Oxy level is within range. Is it normal to have low grade fever for a week in cavity or is this a diff viral?

Dear user, in banglore I heard that the tests are coming late, so give rtpcr as soon as possible, and also rapid antigen test. And go for blood test cbp esr d dimer s ferritin crp as soon as possible along with an hrct scan because its already a week and after this if you do need any assistance kindly contact me.

Kindly get rt-pcr get done at the earliest as your father is showing symptoms and elderly age is considered a relatively higher risk group. In the meantime, hydration is to be maintained and ors needs to be given (1 packet in 1l of water). For further queries and assistance you can contact me directly over text/audio/video. Thanks.
