Most people with coronavirus (COVID-19) feel better within a few weeks. You may be able to look after yourself at home while you recover.

If you have a high temperature, it can help to:

• get lots of rest
• drink plenty of fluids (water is best) to avoid dehydration – drink enough so your pee is light yellow and clear
• take paracetamol or ibuprofen if you feel uncomfortable
• Is it safe to take ibuprofen if I have symptoms of COVID-19?
• Treating a cough
• If you have a cough, it’s best to avoid lying on your back. Lie on your side or sit upright instead. To help ease a cough, try having a teaspoon of honey. But do not give honey to babies under 12 months.  If this does not help, you could contact a pharmacist for advice about cough treatments.

NB: Do not go to a pharmacy; If you or someone you live with has COVID-19 symptoms, you must all stay at home.  Try calling or contacting the pharmacy online instead.
