How are viral infections treated?

Viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics, which means most respiratory tract infections caused by a virus typically don’t require prescription treatment. If your symptoms are mild, you can treat them at home using non-prescription painkillers from the pharmacy such as iverheal 12 mg ,ibuprofen, paracetamol, covimectin 12 , cough syrup, and throat lozenges form https://woodstockfamilymedicine.net/ .

It’s generally recommended that you seek medical help if your symptoms haven’t gone away after a couple of weeks, or if they are very severe. You should see a doctor as soon as you can if you suspect that you have pneumonia. You may need hospital treatment for pneumonia if your symptoms are severe.

You can make an appointment with Doctor Care Anywhere to discuss your symptoms with someone from our team.
