My mother got cavity positive (age 65+ and diabetic patient), she got fever on 21st april (today is 17th day) although she has sore throat 3-4 days before 21st april. We got her hrct chest on 23rd april with result of severity index is 16/25. She was having normal body temperature since 30th april to 5th may which is within 98.7' f but since yesterday night se got temperature 99.4'f.we have give dolo 650 half tablet in night at 1 am till 9 am she has 98.3'f but then gradually increasing- 2: 50 pm she is having 99.4'f. No other issues- oxygen level is well maintained 95% +.is there any problem with body temperature, do we need worry after 16 days and transmission of virus can be possible now after 16 days?

She needs to get proper treatment under medical supervision since she is elderly and is diabetic and ct severity score is also on higher side. My advice is do not panic just consult for proper treatment.
In diabetics there s high chance of still havkng infection. So I would recommend you to strictly monitor spo2 levels, temp n sugar. If at all it goes below 93. Dat warrants admission. For fever you cn jus give dolo as n when req. Max being 4 times in a day.
