Antiviral Medicines for COVID 19
Antiviral drugs can reduce the amount of virus in the body and may lower the risk of severe illness. Some treatments are authorized for people with mild to moderate COVID 19 who are at higher risk of progression.
Supportive and Symptom Relief Medicines
Doctors often recommend rest, fluids, and over the counter medicines to manage fever, pain, and cough. In more severe cases, hospital care may include oxygen therapy and other medications to support recovery.
Prevention and Treatment Guidance
Vaccines remain the primary tool to prevent severe COVID 19. Treatment decisions should be made by a healthcare professional based on symptoms, risk factors, and local guidelines. For current recommendations, see the World Health Organization COVID 19 advice.
