Rest, fluids, quaran: There are no specific medicines that will help you. Your body has to fight this off. Best advice is lots of rest. Get plenty of fluids and good nutrition. Now is not time for chips and beer. Use acetaminophen for body aches and fever. Monitor yourself for new or unusual symptoms such as difficulty breathing. If these occur, get to ER for evaluation. Quarantine yourself to prevent spread.

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. Get urgent care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face, marked persistent chest pain/ pressure or new onset confusion.
