1. Dexamethasone

Since the beginning of the pandemic, several physicians, including those from the United States, have prescribed corticosteroids to severely ill COVID-19 patients. For patients who may have developed a hyper-immune defense (cytokine storm) in reaction to the bacterial infection, it makes biological sense.

The immune system’s extreme reaction in all these situations is causing damage to the lungs as well as other organs, and all too often, death.

Dexamethasone as well as other corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications with a long half-life.

2. Remdesivir

The antibiotic resistance remdesivir was approved by the FDA in October 2020 to control COVID-19.

Adults and kids aged 12 and up who weigh at least 88 pounds and are also hospitalized for COVID-19 can treat with the medication.

Remdesivir can help these sufferers recover more quickly, according to clinical studies.

3. Anticoagulant medications

Almost anyone with COVID-19 is taken to the hospital are given medicine to help avoid blood clots. Some patients, yet, need maximum doses of anticoagulants when they’ve already developed or are at high risk of forming blood clots.

• Stay at home and keep an eye on your symptoms.
• Make an appointment for a telehealth visit.
• To be examined, go to the doctor’s clinic.
• Go over to the doctor’s clinic for more immediate attention.
