Covid-19 – Treatment

Transcript

Generally, COVID can be treated at home. For most people these are similar treatments that one would do if they had a nasty cold or the flu. Lots of rest, make sure to keep hydrated and take pain medication if you need it. Following the appropriate instructions. If you think you’re getting worse, your doctor will recommend a pulse oximeter to keep track of oxygen levels in your blood. Because once it gets to a certain point, you may need to go to the hospital for oxygen. And finally, at its most severe, someone may need to be on a ventilator in the hospital until they improve. It is possible that you may need some kind of rehab depending on how long you’re in the hospital to regain the ability to speak.
