What is the best way to safely manage a high fever of 102.4?F in my 61-year-old father, who has high blood pressure and diabetes and tested positive for COVID-19 two days ago, while he is already taking Paracetamol 650 every four hours, Corex, Mucinac, and receiving cool sponge baths?

Since he is already taking paracetamol 650 mg every four hours, he is at the maximum safe daily limit; please do not increase this dosage. Ensure he stays hydrated with plenty of fluids and continue lukewarm sponge baths. Since he has diabetes, high blood pressure, and a persistent fever with COVID-19, please consult his doctor promptly for a personalized evaluation. Some cough formulations like Corex can impact blood pressure. Keep monitoring his oxygen levels closely and seek immediate medical care if he experiences any shortness of breath, chest pain, or confusion.
