  5. My father tested positive for COVID-19 15 days ago, completed a course of Azithromycin, and is currently taking Mucinac 600, Broclear, Ecosprin, Dolo, and Prednisolone 10mg (he was already taking Prednisolone 5mg and Azoran for an inflammatory lung condition); since his congestion has cleared, he feels better, and his oxygen levels have remained healthy (above 96%), but his PCR Covid test is still positive with a CT value of 20, does he need to start a new medication like Favipiravir, or is he simply in the recovery phase and will continue to improve on his own?

At 15 days since testing positive, he is indeed in the recovery phase. A positive PCR test with a CT value of 20 at this stage is common, as the test can detect non-infectious viral fragments for weeks, especially in individuals taking immunosuppressive medications like prednisolone and azathioprine. He does not need to start favipiravir, as he is already improving. Please continue his current medications, including Ecosprin, Dolo, and his lung treatments, and consult his doctor before making any changes.
