This is a hypothetical question. i've read that covid-19 causes inflammation. if a person contracts the virus but only has mild symptoms, is there anything medically safe that could reduce the inflammation? i'm certainly not asking about disinfectant

COVID 19: There are no known cures for COVID 19. Although the World Health Organization originally recommended against use of non-steroidal anti inflamatory drugs (NSAID's) it since reversed that standing. So it is ok to use NSAID's .
