So I tested positive for coronavirus:

Q: Are there treatments?

A: There are no specific treatments for illnesses caused by human coronaviruses.

Most people with coronavirus illness will recover on their own. However, some things can be done to relieve your symptoms, such as—
•taking pain and fever medications (Caution: Aspirin should not be given to children), and
•using a room humidifier or taking a hot shower to help ease a sore throat and cough.

If you are sick, you should —
•drink plenty of liquids, and
•stay home and rest.

If you are concerned about your symptoms, you should see you healthcare provider.
