What is the treatment for COVID-19?

For the people who develop much more serious symptoms and need to be hospitalized, treatment is primarily focused on supporting individuals while their body fights the infection, and to reduce the patient’s symptoms.

I am curious why they don’t give zinc and vitamin d. There was very positive studies that show it is very effective with recovery

I don’t know if I have Covid but for the past 4 days, my sense of smell got lessen but I can still taste. Also I had cold and the next day I got cough. Now I actually feel normal, i don’t have a fever, cough or cold, I just can’t smell.

My mom after fighting covid for 2 weeks passed away two days ago. The last covid result was negative but the lungs damaged. Didn't survive covid. :( :( :(

Hi. I had covid alone at home for the past 6 weeks. When I felt my chest or breathing become labored, i took a sprinkle of regular seasalt in my palm and licked it up following it with a little water. It mostly opened my airways and breathing became better. Sometimes I had to do it after 10 minutes again, but it worked eventually.

why are doctors not giving medicine for a positive covid test

[midnightcat]

Someone very dear to me is now on supplemental oxygen (BIPAP) and have been getting iv pushes of both meds discussed in this video.

They were not vaccinated at the time of hospitalization.

It’s been a surreal experience to see my loved one struggling to breathe. We’re taking things day by day. On the upside, oxygen levels have gone back up after a scare the night before when it started dropping to low levels.

If you haven’t been vaccinated, please reconsider. Much love to everyone who has covid-19 and who have lost loved-ones, or are waiting for loved-ones to recover from this virus. Be kind to each other. Navigating the medical system has been a struggle. Simple kindness can go a long way.

Convalescent means recovered patients, convalescent plasma therapy used for covid, but plasma therapy is used for so many diseases like GBS, MS, ITP, TTP, HUS, DEFICIENCY OF COAGULATION FACTORS

4)take vitaminc and b complex supplements and medicines prescribed by your doctor
5)watch some comedy shows and relax.
6)drink hot water only
7) gargle with hot water once everyday

3 weeks almost still recovering. I have lost my sense of taste and smell and appetite has decreased 😞

When you are sick with the coronavirus you have to rest, when you sleep sleep on your stomach just eat a lot of fluids and if you are older, take a picture of your lungs and do not go outside and take a blood count

[CBAC]

I am positive on Covid. My current symptoms are ‘lost in taste and lost in smell with a little bit of headache’. Wearing thick medical mask feels a little bit hard to breathe… Hope I recover, currently on a home treatment.

Osmosis from Elsevier, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!

[daneddieloayon]

my uncle died because of diabetes and the doctor diagnosed him of COVID even though HE DOESNT HAVE ONE

[lisaeggers]

Why didn't they tell about the way to prevent death by using the appropriate anti inflammation meds for what part of the body/ organs the immune inflames during the infection!?!
