Covid-19 ( Coronavirus ) Treatments

Fever, coughing, and breathing issues are the most prevalent COVID-19 symptoms. Unless your symptoms are severe, you may probably treat them at home, just like a cold or the flu. COVID-19 is usually treated without the need for hospitalization. Call your doctor to see if you should stay at home or seek medical attention.

The most important thing to remember is to avoid infecting others, particularly those over 65 or with serious health issues. That is to say:

• Try to confine yourself to a single room in your house. If possible, use a separate bedroom and bathroom.

• Others will keep their distance if you tell them you're sick

• Coughs and sneezes should be covered with a tissue or your elbow.

• If possible, cover your nose and mouth with a mask. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended that you use a well-fitting respirator mask (like N95s and KN95s). Other masks do not provide the same level of protection as these.

• Hands should be washed on a frequent basis.

• Don't let anyone else use your dishes, glasses, dining utensils, towels, or beds.

• Surfaces such as doorknobs, counters, and tabletops should all be cleaned and disinfected.

Symptoms appear 2 to 14 days after you are exposed to the virus. Many patients with minor illnesses recover in less than two weeks. Severe episodes might persist anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks.

Coronavirus Treatment at Home

If your symptoms are minor and you think you'll be able to recuperate at home, you should:

• To find out where and when to obtain a test, contact your health care practitioner or the COVID-19 helpline.

• To stop the infection from spreading, cooperate with contact-tracing techniques.

• If testing is not available, stay at home for 14 days and avoid contact with others.

• Do not go to work, school, or public venues while you are in quarantine. Request that someone bring you supplies.

• If you're sharing a room, make sure the beds are at least 1 meter apart.

• For the next 14 days, keep an eye out for any signs.

• If you develop any of the following symptoms, call your doctor right away: trouble breathing, loss of speech or mobility, confusion, or chest pain.

• Keep in touch with loved ones via the phone or online, and exercise at home to stay optimistic.

• Maintain a 1-meter separation from others, including family members.

• Wear a medical mask to protect others, as well as yourself if you require medical attention.

• Hands should be washed often.

• If feasible, stay in a separate room from other family members and wear a medical mask.

• Make sure the space is well ventilated.

Treatments in medicine

COVID-19 is being researched and developed by scientists all around the world.

• For seriously ill patients and those at risk of severe disease, optimal supportive care involves oxygen, as well as more advanced respiratory assistance, such as ventilation, for critically ill patients.

• Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that can assist patients with severe and critical illnesses spend less time on a ventilator and live longer.

Self-medication with any drugs, including antibiotics, is not recommended by the WHO as a COVID-19 preventive or cure.
