Besides oxygen in whatever method is most safe for the patient, send a prescription for prednisone with a dose that will last for the entire course of the virus and tapering doses into the recovery period after they test negative. Additionally, patients with co-morbidities, such as diabetes, may find a prophylactic dose of a broad-spectrum antibiotic such as Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole.

Antibiotic side effects can be countered with yogurt. There should be a standard dietary sheet to enforce the idea of eating healthy even though they are feeling poorly. Often, breathing problems are met with the refusal of nutrition because a person has to hold their breath when swallowing. Patients should understand they still have to maintain their nutrition even if through supplement drinks such as Boost or Ensure. Ensure can make great milkshakes, too. Sometimes it is more acceptable to sip nutrition during breathing problems.

It would speed diagnosis and ordering therapeutics if a physician can literally hand the patient recommendations that work in a package of therapeutics, including nutrition.
