Hello diet is most important in covid as it weakens our immune system. If your patient is not diabetic then she should take sufficient ors to keep herself hydrated. What is the oxygen saturation of patient when she is breathless? As of now no changes in medicine is required. Advice patient to do breathing exercise using incetive spirometer to increase the functioning of lungs.
