How To Safely Treat COVID-19 Symptoms At Home

If you're unfortunate enough to have tested positive for COVID-19, you've probably been advised to stay home and recover. According to Business Insider, most people who are sick with COVID-19 have mild symptoms and just need time to recover. Doctors recommend Tylenol to manage any fever, fluids to stay hydrated, lots of rest, and above-all-else self-isolation. Speaking of fluids, add a little sugar or salt to water, instead of drinking it plain. Your body will absorb it more easily. Also, be vigilant about tracking your symptoms, including taking your temperature. If symptoms include shortness of breath, severe weakness, or blueness around the lips, then seeking care in an emergency department is very important. Michael Gross, chief medical officer at Huntington Hospital.
