Covid: Firstly is you believe you have Covid then get a test done. Treatment is isolation and symptomatic. Drink fluids (not coffee or other dehydrating liquids), eat well, keep a good rest and sleep routine, treat fever aggressively. If you have a finger Sat probe then check it daily. Take supplements like Vit C, D as well.
