Test husband monitor: You should isolate at least ten days if you remain asymptomatic. You and your husband should monitor of signs of active disease (fever, shortness of breath), see MD if becoming sick. Test your husband No medication necessary unless you deteriorate.

COVID 19 : No specific meds are needed. Spouse may test or remain for full period of quarantine. Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. May use acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup. Naprosyn is a good choice if NSAID’s are used. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.

Agree with Dr. F: Take paracetamol for fever and aches/pain, no more than 4 g/day, no alcohol. Drink enough water, fruit juice and electrolyte drinks so you urine is mostly colorless. If either one of you develops breathing difficulty, go to the nearest hospital immediately. Wish you good health!
