Treatments for covid-19?

None: There are no proven effective treatments for Covid. Once hospitalized, treatment is supportive although medications are routinely given in the hope that they may help. It is possible that one of these medications may prove effective once data is collected from many patients.

No specific Tx's: Rest. Hydrate, Quarantine. If symptomatic consider acetaminophen, decongestant, or saline for nasal irrigation. Eat healthfully. If you have shortness of breath, blue lips or dizziness - please get urgent evaluation. Call your doctor if you are uncertain about the severity of your symptoms. There are no specific medications for COVID 19.
