Symptomatic approach: Since at this point, we have no cure, there are mainly symptomatic and anecdotal approaches. Can use tylenol for fever, and perhaps aching. Some doctors suggest supplementing with vitamin C and D, adding zinc, and in some cases, B complex vitamins. If you can get sleep, that will help support immune system. Your doctor may have additional recommendations.

COVID 19: Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Naprosyn is a good choice if NSAID’s are used. Zinc, vitamin C & D supplements may be helpful. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
