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:

If you’re concerned about your symptoms and need medical advice, use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service.

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.

Get help while you’re staying at home

NHS Volunteer Responders can help you while you have to stay at home (self-isolate).

They can help with things like collecting shopping and medicines.

Call 0808 196 3646 (8am to 8pm, everyday) to arrange help from a volunteer.

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.

Important

Feeling breathless can be a sign of a more serious coronavirus infection.

If you feel breathless and it’s getting worse, get medical advice from the NHS 111 online coronavirus service.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak that originated in China.

The virus is now known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.

Public health groups, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO, are monitoring the pandemic and posting updates on their websites. These groups have also issued recommendations for preventing and treating the illness.

Signs and symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may appear two to 14 days after exposure. This time after exposure and before having symptoms is called the incubation period. Common signs and symptoms can include:

• Fever
• Cough
• Tiredness

Early symptoms of COVID-19 may include a loss of taste or smell.

Other symptoms can include:

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Muscle aches
• Chills
• Sore throat
• Runny nose
• Headache
• Chest pain
• Pink eye (conjunctivitis)

This list is not all inclusive. Other less common symptoms have been reported, such as rash, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Children have similar symptoms to adults and generally have mild illness.

The severity of COVID-19 symptoms can range from very mild to severe. Some people may have only a few symptoms, and some people may have no symptoms at all. Some people may experience worsened symptoms, such as worsened shortness of breath and pneumonia, about a week after symptoms start.

People who are older have a higher risk of serious illness from COVID-19, and the risk increases with age. People who have existing chronic medical conditions also may have a higher risk of serious illness. Certain medical conditions that increase the risk of serious illness from COVID-19 include:

• Serious heart diseases, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy
• Cancer
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Type 2 diabetes
• Obesity or severe obesity
• Smoking
• Chronic kidney disease
• Sickle cell disease
• Weakened immune system from solid organ transplants
• Pregnancy

Other conditions may increase the risk of serious illness, such as:

• Asthma
• Liver disease
• Overweight
• Chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis
• Brain and nervous system conditions
• Weakened immune system from bone marrow transplant, HIV or some medications
• Type 1 diabetes
• High blood pressure

This list is not all inclusive. Other underlying medical conditions may increase your risk of serious illness from COVID-19.
