My dad tested positive for Covid 15 days ago. He is 68 years old, has mild COPD, and is recovering from Covid with symptoms of chest congestion, thick clear mucus, and some nasal drainage. He is reluctant to go to the doctor due to concerns about potential flu exposure. What should we do to help him recover and avoid potential complications?

I had a sudden improvement in my congestion two days ago, but now I'm experiencing pain in my right cheekbone, similar to a toothache, and a slow return of congestion, especially on the right side. I also have post nasal drip and feel tired and disoriented. I've been taking amoxicillin, Nasonex spray, and mirtazapine. My mucus is now white instead of green or yellow. I'm concerned if this is part of the natural recovery process or if I might be developing another condition. Additionally, I'm worried about the effectiveness of my new antibiotics after stopping the previous course for three days and whether my upcoming septoplasty and polyp removal surgery will cure my sinus infection.
