A member asked:
Does a coronavirus infection respond to acetaminophen/tylenol the same way a fever from another infection would?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptom relief: Coronavirus infection results in a variety of symptoms such as fever, cough, etc. Each of these symptoms can be treated with normal medications. It does not cure the virus infection but makes the symptom feel better. So, Acetaminophen can be used to reduce the fever. Cough medicines can be used to reduce the cough.
