How can I take care of the Covid-19 patient at home?

Hello, I am a 29 years old male. Three days back me and my wife got tested for COVID-19. She had a fever and headache so I thought it would be a great idea to get tested. I didn’t have any symptoms, but I got tested as I came in contact with her. I tested negative but she is Covid-19 positive. We are taking treatment from home itself. Can anyone suggest to me how I can take care of the Covid-19 patient at home? Thank you.

@piyush-0 Hello, Most people who become sick with COVID-19 will only experience mild illness and can recover at home. Symptoms might last a few days, and people who have the virus might feel better in about a week. Treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms and includes rest, fluid intake, and pain relievers. Follow the doctor's recommendations about care and home isolation for yourself or your loved one. Talk to the doctor if you have any questions about treatments. It's also important to consider how caring for a sick person might affect your health. If you are older or have an existing medical condition, such as heart or lung disease or diabetes, you may be at higher risk of serious illness. Carefully monitor if symptoms appear to be getting worse, call the doctor. Using a home pulse oximeter, the device can help check breathing by measuring how much oxygen is in the blood. A reading of less than 92% might increase the need for hospitalization. If the doctor recommends a pulse oximeter, make sure you understand how to use the device properly and when reading should prompt a call to the doctor.
