Since my mother and I both have fevers and have lost our sense of taste and smell, should we get an RT-PCR test to confirm if we have COVID-19, how should we manage our symptoms, and should I start giving her antibiotics like Azee for her cough and congestion while she is already taking Dolo 650?

Yes, getting an RT-PCR test is a wise next step to confirm if you both have COVID-19. In the meantime, please isolate, rest, and drink plenty of fluids. You can continue giving her Dolo 650 (paracetamol) to manage her fever safely. However, please do not start antibiotics like Azee (azithromycin) without a doctor's prescription, as antibiotics do not treat viral infections. For her cough and congestion, steam inhalation and warm fluids will help. Please monitor her oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter and consult a doctor for a personalized care plan.
