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?

He is already on so much medicines, so get all the vitamins in diet. Zinc is not recommended if you are taking amilorides. Also check ferritin levels before giving Vitamin C. Good sleep and healthy habits like walk etc improves immunity plus protein diet like fish etc on his case.
