A member asked:
Have anti-inflammatories been shown to help treat covid-19 patients? what about using steroids to fight the cytokines storm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not enough: NSAIDs seem to cause more trouble than helping and steroids are unclear as initially they were believed not to help, but late reports claim to have been helpful. Timing, type of infection (mild, moderate, severe) and comorbidities play a significant role as well.
