Will Salbutamol Help Covid?

Will my inhaler help with COVID-19 symptoms? Bear in mind that your reliever inhaler helps with symptoms like breathlessness, coughing, or chest tightness that are caused by asthma. They may not help these symptoms if they're caused by COVID-19.

Can you use an asthma inhaler while you have COVID-19?

If you have any questions about asthma medicines and the coronavirus, talk with your doctor. If you need to take quick-relief medicine (such as albuterol) for an asthma episode, use an inhaler (with a spacer) if possible. Using a nebulizer can increase the risk of sending virus particles in the air if you are sick.

What are some of the medications that I can take to reduce the symptoms of COVID-19?

Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) can all be used for pain relief from COVID-19 if they are taken in the recommended doses and approved by your doctor.
