In many cases, Covid infection caused by Omicron requires symptomatic treatment only, which does not involve hospitalization and is entirely possible at home.
Doctors today have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to home treatment for coronavirus. What can we do ourselves, according to doctors, to relieve symptoms of infection?
Take over-the-counter pain and fever relievers
If the patient has headaches, fever, and body aches, these remedies should help.
Use cough suppressants and decongestants
Coughing and nasal congestion along with a runny nose don’t occur in all people with an Omicron infection, but many people still do. According to doctors, we can use over-the-counter cough medicine and nasal decongestant medicine to combat these symptoms, which are the same medicines we use for colds.
Drink a lot of water
Talking about how to treat COVID-19 at home, all doctors note the importance of hydrating the body well – this helps cleanse it of potentially toxic components. According to the US National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, men should aim to drink at least 15.5 cups of fluid per day, and women should aim for 11.5 cups.
Relax
Rest allows the immune system to build up energy to fight infection and relieves some symptoms.
Monitor oxygen levels in the blood
Today, it is useful to have a pulse oximeter in your first aid kit, which allows you to detect oxygen saturation in the blood (which in turn reflects the condition and function of the lungs). If the meter reading drops below 95%, you should call and consult a doctor.
