Hello, My dad have been in the hospital for more than 17 days now due to covid infection, they've given him HCQ +AZYthromycin in the beginning, he's now under heavy antibiotics, his latest 2 blood work were pretty bad according to the doctors, his CRP levels were around 300.

They're using 1-3 hours of Non invasive ventilation and other times he's on a rebreather type, He can get to 95 SPO2 with the rebreather one. He can speak and is well conscious at the moment, but the doctors are telling me he's not getting better only his clinical state is stable for now, but his body not responding to anything, seems like inflammation is through the proof and not going down, and they gave him all they had now we just need to wait for his body and immune system to respond.

Will convalescent plasma help him ? or something like interleukin ? I've discussed it with doctors but they don't seem to be interested in these at the moment.
