How Does The Coronavirus Spread From Person To Person?

What Treatments Do People Receive If They Have Covid-19?

The treatment strategy for COVID-19 depends on the age of the patient and the severity of the infection. The doctors will recommend an appropriate treatment according to your symptoms and medical history. 

If you have mild to moderate symptoms, our doctors can suggest taking over-the-counter medicines, such as ibuprofen and paracetamol, to help you feel better. 

However, if you can’t visit our clinic for any reason, you can also book an online video or phone appointment with our doctors and get a treatment plan to recover from the symptoms. 

For severe COVID-19 symptoms such as shortness of breath and persistent chest pain, you need to contact an emergency care facility without wasting your time for quick medical attention.
