What should you do to manage the symptoms of covid-19 and kill the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For most people: Rest, hydration and quarantine. May get some symptom relief with acetaminophen, decongestant and saline nasal irrigation. The Virus will die when it is ready. It you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, confusion or blue lips - you need urgent assessment.
