How to treat coronavirus symptoms at home.

There is currently no specific treatment for coronavirus (COVID-19), but you can often ease the symptoms at home until you recover.

Information:

Treating a high temperature

If you have a high temperature, it can help to:

• get lots of rest
• drink plenty of fluids (water is best) to avoid dehydration – drink enough so your pee is light yellow and clear
• take paracetamol or ibuprofen if you feel uncomfortable

Is it safe to take ibuprofen if I have symptoms of coronavirus?

Treating a cough

If you have a cough, it's best to avoid lying on your back. Lie on your side or sit upright instead.

To help ease a cough, try having a teaspoon of honey. But do not give honey to babies under 12 months.

If this does not help, you could contact a pharmacist for advice about cough treatments.

Information:

Do not go to a pharmacy in person. If you or someone you live with has coronavirus symptoms, you must all stay at home.

Try calling or contacting the pharmacy online instead.

Things to try if you're feeling breathless

If you're feeling breathless, it can help to keep your room cool.

Try turning the heating down or opening a window. Do not use a fan as it may spread the virus.

You could also try:

• breathing slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth, with your lips together like you're gently blowing out a candle
• sitting upright in a chair
• relaxing your shoulders, so you're not hunched
• leaning forward slightly – support yourself by putting your hands on your knees or on something stable like a chair

Try not to panic if you're feeling breathless. This can make it worse.END=REARCH THE SICKNESS AND HOW TO PREVENT THE CONVIC 19 TO OUR VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY AND OUR FAMILY.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.29/7/2020.
