A member asked:

Does benelyn for flu help with mild symptoms of covoid 19? if not what should be taken?

COronavirus: It might help a slight amount being that a virus is a foreign particle and will cause some symptoms that the benelyn will help alleviate, the guaifenesin in it will help break down the mucus if you have any. If your symptoms get more severe and you can't breathe then call 911 or go to the ER where they will have medications and treatments for more severity.

COVID care: Benelin or diphenhydramine is an antistamine that could help with some symtpoms. Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
