Healing from COVID-19 is different for each patient. This is true even for patients who have been given antiviral therapy. The main job of the antiviral therapy is to keep the infection from getting worse. The goal is to avoid the most serious problems. These include being admitted to the hospital and death. If symptoms do get worse after having antiviral therapy, please get medical help.
For relief of minor symptoms such as a headache or body aches, over-the-counter medicines can be taken (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen).
