Observe: If you have mild illness, staying home, resting, treating fever with Tylenol rather than Motrin, drinking fluids and a flu vaccine is recommended. Watch for signs of worsening, distress and trouble breathing. If these occur, please go to the Emergency department. Medications may be administered at the hospital.

COVID 19 treatments: Make sure to quarantine. Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med & nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, significant & persistent chest pain or new-onset of confusion. You might not require any special medications
