How severe?: Most young individuals with COVID-19 have no symptoms at all. Of those who do, respiratory symptoms are the most common, especially if they have prior asthma, bronchitis or chronic lung disease. Yes, you may need an inhaler - but there are many to chose from. They look alike (like pills look alike from the outside) but are fundamentally different. Schedule a “formal” consult and we can discuss
