COVID-19 treatment

COVID-19 treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and supporting the body’s recovery. Mild cases may only require rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever and aches. Severe cases may need hospitalization, where treatments include supplemental oxygen, antivirals like remdesivir, corticosteroids such as dexamethasone to reduce inflammation, and advanced interventions like ventilators for breathing support. Monoclonal antibodies can help some patients recover faster if administered early. Vaccination remains key in preventing severe illness. Always consult healthcare professionals for personalized guidance based on individual health status.
