While most of the mild symptoms can be treated at home, like khasi ki dawa for cough and painkillers for relieving body aches and other pain, it is important to first understand the symptoms of COVID-19. The most common ones include shortness of breath, persistent cough, fever, loss of sense of smell and taste, headaches and even fatigue or tiredness. Self-isolation for at least a week is the first step that is suggested after one starts experiencing these symptoms. You can immediately follow this up by booking a test for COVID-19 in order to be sure. 

The next thing that comes most recommended is to drink a lot of fluids to keep your body hydrated and recover. You should also be taking it easy and getting plenty of rest until you feel better. The rest of your symptoms can be managed with over-the-counter drugs and medicines. Paracetamol and ibuprofen can help provide relief from body aches and headaches. These painkillers also help with the fever. Some of the medications recommended for a cold or the flu can also be used for khasi ka ilaj. For example, lozenges and cough syrups can be used to help with your coughing ...
... bouts. Other symptoms like loss of sense of smell and taste will lessen automatically as your body starts recovering from the virus. 

You should start feeling better within a week, but if the symptoms show no signs of improving within seven days, you should consult a doctor who may or may not ask you to get admitted at a health centre. A wide majority of COVID-19 cases, however, do not need professional intervention.
