Overview
Treatment should be supportive. No specific treatment available. Most people with coronavirus illness will recover on their own.
Medical Therapy
Treatment should be supportive. No specific treatment available. Most people with coronavirus illness will recover on their own. However, some things can be done to relieve symptoms.
- Taking pain and fever medications (aspirin should not be given to children).
- Using a room humidifier or taking a hot shower to help ease a sore throat and cough.
- Drinking plenty of liquids, staying home and taking rest.
- Severe acute respiratory distress syndrome- coronavirus[1][2][3]
- Preferred regimen: supportive therapy
- Note: New therapies were studied for SARS during the last outbreaks which concluded:
- Ribavirin ineffective and probably harmful due to haemolytic anaemia
- Lopinavir PLUS Ritonavir is still controversial and need further investigation
- Interferon has no benefit and its studies are inconclusive
- Corticosteroids increases risk of fungal infections, some studies showed a higher incidence of psychosis, diabetes, avascular necrosis and osteoporosis
- Inhaled Nitric oxide potent mediator of airway inflammation, its has improved oxygenation in some studies
