What Are The Symptoms Of Coronavirus?
How Does The Coronavirus Spread From Person To Person?
COVID mainly spreads when people are close to each other. If someone who is sick talks, coughs, or sneezes, tiny droplets carrying the virus can get into the air, and if you breathe them in, you may get infected.
It can also spread through:
- Respiratory droplets
- Contaminated surfaces
- Crowded surfaces
- Sharing personal items
- Neglecting hygiene practice

What Treatments Are Available for People with COVID?
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 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.
How Can I Manage My Symptoms At Home?
If you’ve tested positive or think you might have COVID, the good news is that many people can recover safely at home.
Here are some simple steps to help you feel better and keep those around you safe:
- Have a good rest: Give your body the downtime it needs to fight the infection.
- Keep to yourself: Avoid sharing personal items like towels, dishes, or bedding.
- Wipe things down: Clean household surfaces regularly to stop germs from spreading.
- Check in with yourself: Keep an eye on your symptoms so you’ll know if they’re getting better or worse.
- Stay apart: Try to isolate from others in your home until you’re no longer contagious.
