Yes: Work with your physician and take steps to insure your immune system is supported with rest, liquids and supplements like zinc and vitamin C. Look at EVMS Covid 19 protocol or FLCCC Math +1 protocol for suggestions but keep your doctor informed especially if symptoms get worse.

Concerning: If you have a persistent cough and are raising blood in the sputum repeatedly, especially with associated fever and some breathlessness, it could indicate significant lung involvement which has to be treated as soon as possible. Call your physician for instructions on whether to proceed to the hospital emergency room. This will depend upon more description to him/her of your current symptoms.
