Treatment

Most people will not have symptoms severe enough to warrant being admitted into the hospital. Health professionals are suggesting to treat the symptoms of COVID-19 the same as you would treat the flu:

  • Make sure you stay hydrated
  • Reduce your fever with Tylenol
  • Sanitize and clean surfaces
  • Monitor your symptoms to make sure you do not get worse or your symptoms do not progress

If your symptoms are severe such as:

  • a high fever (100.4 or above) and the fever won’t go down even with medicine
  • trouble breathing
  • persistent pain or pressure in the chest
  • new confusion or inability to arouse
  • bluish lips or face

This list is not all-inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

Older adults (over 60) and people who have severe underlying chronic conditions such as heart or lung disease and diabetes seem to be at higher risk of developing serious complications. If you are at higher risk, you should contact your health care provider EARLY, even if your symptoms are mild.
