If someone with covid-19 gets pneumonia, what medications are used to treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: Agree with Dr. Pasniciuc. There are clinical trials with some antiviral medications, but medications to keep airways open and other supportive approaches would be taken. Antibiotics could be used for secondary bacterial infections.
