Basic Treatment for Mild Disease #COVID19 🛌 Rest 🍜 Eat well and keep your 🚰 fluids up 💊 Consider Paracetamol & NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, etc).Don't forget a supply or a plan for your regular meds/inhalers/etc 🥦 Antioxidants & Immune Support (Vit C, Vit D, Zinc) may help

🍯 Cough syrups, lozenges, etc may also make you feel better, but don't kill the virus. 🌬 Incentive Spirometry: may help you use more lung 🙇 Proning (lying face-down on your belly) whilst you sleep & even when you're awake - this can help to get more oxygen into your blood
