Do steroids and antibiotics help when you have covid?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections but not against viral infections which is what covid is. Steroids are useful to treat certain inflammatory processes which may occur in covid infections and for bronchospasm ( wheezing) seen in some respiratory tract infections.
