How to treat the coronavirus?

If mild, like a cold: SARS CoV-2 which is the new coronavirus that causes CoVID-19 does not have a specific treatment. In most people it causes mild symptoms just like a common cold and you should treat the symptoms that you have. In general, getting rest, drinking plenty of liquids and taking Acetaminophen/Tylenol/paracetamol for body aches and fevers. Isolate from others and go to hospital for trouble breathing.

Covid 19: 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, persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
