Rtk self Test positive for 59 aged guy. What are the steps to do after tested positive

My dad who is a CKD and diabetes Patient without dialysis yet tested positive and asymptomatic. Can we let him take vitamin c for booster his immune ? What are other steps we should take before it is too late ?

Hello, thank you for your enquiry.

For your information, your father can take vitamin c as a supplement. However, vitamin c does not function as a booster for human’s immune system. If your father is asymptomatic, he is stage 1 and you can keep an eye, observe for any changes of his symptom for the mean time.

Usually virus infection, including Covid does not have a definitive treatment, no medication can directly cure this infection, only supportive treatment is available. The healing require human’s immune system to be stimulate by the virus and function by producing antibodies on itself.

If your father develop symptoms such as fever, sore throat, muscle or joint pain, he may take painkiller or antipyretic medication such as paracetamol or NSAIDs to suppress the symptoms. If he develop more severe symptoms such as dizziness, breathlessness and coughing blood, please call 999 or contact the relevant department CPRC vial 0388810200/+60178429454 immediately for the proper treatment plan.
