Continue to monitor and provide supportive care, fluids and rest, after speaking with your doctor. Some patients develop pneumonia and have sudden worsening of their respiratory symptoms. The loss of weight is concerning and good nutrition is an important aspect of recovery. Secondary bacterial infections may be treated with antibiotics.
