Monitor temperature: There are treatments available for COVID 19 lung disease. Your case may be mild but viral shedding may be prolonged. Recovery may take some time, continue to monitor your temperature, use social distancing, and please report symptoms, including fever to your PCP.

Agree with Dr. D: There is no specific treatment. If you get breathing difficulty, go to a hospital. Wear a mask when in public. Wish you good heath!

COVID 19 & anosmia: Your sense of smell should return without specific medications. Most COVID 19 patients with anosmia recover within 3 weeks. The median time to have return of sense of smell is 7 days.
