My 63-year-old mother, who previously survived a severe, life-threatening allergic skin reaction (Stevens-Johnson syndrome) caused by taking Sazo for joint pain, has tested positive for COVID-19; given that she is unvaccinated, has a family history of this severe reaction, is allergic to sulfa drugs, common pain relievers (NSAIDs), and multivitamins, and currently takes Teczine 10 for allergies and Stugeron Plus for dizziness, what are the safest next steps and treatment options for her while she isolates at home with a blood oxygen level of 99% and blood pressure of 140/90?
It is highly reassuring that your mother's oxygen level is excellent at 99%. Since she has a history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome from Sazo and is allergic to NSAIDs and sulfa drugs, we must be extremely cautious. She can safely continue her Teczine 10 and Stugeron Plus. For fever or body aches, paracetamol is typically the safest option, but please confirm with her doctor first. Because she is unvaccinated, please contact her physician immediately to discuss safe antiviral treatments. Keep monitoring her oxygen, and seek emergency care if it drops below 95% or if she has trouble breathing.
