Talk to General Physician on Covid Positive
Asking for Husband, Male, 36 years old, Rawalpindi
Assalam Aalikum. My husband got covid positive yesterday, as soon he developed symptoms he got his test done and isolated himself in a room. He is taking Azomax (500mg) once daily, fexet (120mg) daily, vitamin c, serbax Z one tablet daily. He has been vaccinated two months before. I want to know what precautions should be taken for patients who contract covid despite vaccination. He is having severe body ache. Loss of energy. Oxygen according to home oximeter is 95 on the average. The temperature fluctuates between 100-101. Paracetamol is being used every 4-5 hours.
Kindly guide in the light of above mentioned history. What should we do apart from all this? What diet should be taken for regain of strength? Thanks in advance.
