Specializes in Psychiatry

Home care for most: Rest, hydration, quarantine and possibly acetaminophen, saline nasal irrigation and/or decongestant is a good way to start. If you have difficulty breathing, confusion, lips are turning blue or chest pain - you may need urgent help. Many people will be asymptomatic.
