person-avatar

Asking for Father, Male, 56 years old, Karachi

Patient age: 56yo Medical History: Diabetic. Hypertension issue. Recently diagnosed with sixth nerve palsy issue after ear infection, right ear hearing power decreased, but now eye movement is back to normal, with sugar and blood pressure in control, alhamdulillah. Taking following medicines as prescribed by doctor:

Sitamet 50/500 mg (1+0+1) Diamicron 80mg (1+0+1) Concor 2.5mg (1+0+0) Limgit 100mg (1+0+1) Pletaal 100mg (1+0+1) Lipiget 10mg (0+0+1) Nexum 40mg (1+0+0) Lowplat 75mg (1+0+0) Tanakan (1+1+1)

Question is, what we can give him for making his immunity system strong? Can he take Surbex Z, CaC-1000, CeCon tablets? Keeping in mind he is diabetic since 12 years almost.

Also, what should we do if (God forbid) he gets any symptoms of COVID-19?

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Sirhan Zaib

The most importany way to boost immunity on this case is to optimise and keep good control of blood sugar.... All other vitamins and minerals are secondary

General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Samra Zareen

Yes he can be given Surbex Z, Cac 1000 and Cecon tablets. Cac 1000 is available in sugar free form also, take that. If he gets any symptoms then go for COVID PCR test first. If positive then we can proceed further.

General Practitioner in Bahawalpur - Dr. Muhammad Ahsan Wali

yes yes of course!.. surbex z is best option you can give him one tab in evening and you can give ca c ince daily the glucose content is not much high

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Muhammad Ibaad Siddiqui

Ofcourse you can give him these supplements.
As far as symtoms of covid is concerned,if they are apparent you need to get him tested that's the only way.

General Practitioner in Bahawalpur - Dr. Muhammad Ahsan Wali

do you have any CT scan or MRI of brain?

tab limigit that you are giving him is anticonvalsant

AOA...Allah hu shafi.

surbex Z is multivitamins, can be given once daily. In case of symptoms of covid, you must isolate him from other family members and take him to nearby facility to get his test done. Check for fever, sore throat, for difficulty in breathing.

generally for covid one must have oxymeter for measuring oxygen saturation and steamer for steam inhalation 4 times / day, tab. Panadol 2+2+2+2.
