Experimental medicine would be pretty useless on someone with very mild symptoms like that

If that's all he has I agree with you they wouldn't get much knowledge from an experimental treatment.

I'd be more inclined to think because of his age it's a precautionary matter to have him in hospital hopefully.

Yes, Johnson went to Hospital later in his time with it but he is far younger than Trump.
So it makes sense to, with him in his 70s, to keep him under observation in hospital.
