Hi team, I am haseena, I am looking for treatment for my grandfather, he is 75 years old because of corona no doctor is willing to see him right now. He is having high fever, body pain, weakness, abnormal sweating, unable to eat, unable to talk or may be forgetting what he wants to say and can not say it & his blood pressure is getting very low, he is a heart patient for which medicines are already been taken. Medicines are tab ecosprin 150 mg, cap metolar xr 50 mg, tab ramihart 5 mg, tab rosulip 10 mg. Yesterday he went to nearest clinic the doctor saw him from very far distance and prescribed some medicines, but after taking those medicines no effects were shown, the condition is same. The prescribed medicines are tab telekast l and tab a-z gold. For fever he is taking crocin. Kindly suggest what should we do? Please tell us the treatment details as soon as possible. I will be very helpful if you do so. Thanks & regards haseena.

Hi Lybrate user. Your father is 75 year old and also a heart disease, so high risk for covid19. So this is one possibility. Go for covid19 test. For how long he has fever? Chills rigor? Burning micturition/ increased frequency? His mental condition is not sound so one possibility is hyponatremia. If you are able to go for investigation then do these tests- cbc, rbs, s. Creatinine, sgpt, bilirubin, s.electrolytes, mp test, elisa typhidot igm, chest xray pa view, c/s urine. #follow these- hold ramihart as his blood pressure getting low. If still bp is low hod metoprolol 50. Monitor temperature 4 hourly. Paracetamol/crocin 650 mg 8 hourly if temperature >100f. Ors powder dissolved in 1 litre. Monitor urine output in 24 hour. Give fluid and ors powder according to urine output. Add 500 ml to urine output and give this total amount of fluid in 24 hour. Thank you. Wish you speedy recovery.
