Will the new coronavirus pneumonia clear up on its own?

The vast majority of people with novel coronavirus pneumonia can recover on their own. Patients with mild, common forms of the disease can be treated without medication and wait for the disease to clear up on its own. If the symptoms are severe, symptomatic treatment can be given, such as fever-reducing medication, cough medication when coughing, and nutritional support medication if nutrition is poor. For mild and common type patients, since it is a self-limiting disease, the main thing is to give isolation and a quiet environment, to ensure adequate rest, to avoid infecting more people, and to wait for self-healing, and it is not recommended to use more drugs to intervene. On the contrary, the known antiviral drugs nowadays may have more obvious side effects as their efficacy is still uncertain. This is why medication is not recommended for diseases that can heal on their own. In severe cases, there may be early use of antiviral drugs such as chloroquine phosphate and Ridaxivir, which is currently in clinical trials, which can be given to patients with severe forms of the disease. For critical cases, recovery plasma may also be considered, and low-dose hormones may be considered, and waiting for spontaneous healing is fine in most common cases. Content source: Dr. Yurai
