COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines

COVID-19 treatment guidelines recommend managing mild symptoms at home with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medicines like fever reducers. Monitor symptoms closely; seek medical attention if experiencing difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, confusion, or bluish lips. For severe cases, healthcare providers may use medications like antiviral drugs, corticosteroids, or monoclonal antibodies, and provide supportive care such as oxygen therapy. Hospitalization may be needed for advanced support. Vaccination and preventive measures like wearing masks and practicing good hygiene remain essential in reducing risk. Treatment approaches are tailored based on illness severity and individual health conditions.
