Published: Feb 29, 2024
Learn essential steps to manage COVID-19 symptoms safely and effectively from the comfort of your home.
Monitor Your Symptoms
Keep track of your symptoms daily, noting any changes in severity. Use a thermometer to check for fever and an oximeter to monitor oxygen levels if available. This helps you decide if medical attention is needed.
Relieve Symptoms
Stay hydrated and use over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen for fever and aches. Rest is crucial, so ensure you get plenty of sleep. For coughs, try soothing teas or lozenges.
Prevent Spread to Others
Isolate yourself in a separate room and use a dedicated bathroom if possible. Wear a mask around others, even at home, and practice good hand hygiene. This minimizes the risk of spreading the virus to family members.
