For fever, muscle aching, and headaches, we generally recommend acetaminophen (Tylenol); however, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) such as Ibuprofen use is acceptable if symptoms do not respond to acetaminophen. If you are taking any steroid medications you should consult your physician for further instructions.
If you need more information, please contact our office for instructions before coming to the clinic. You may also contact 811 or go to emergency for severe symptoms. Most people with minor symptoms should not come to the office and should self isolate at home. We are offering the option to have a video visit with your doctor instead of a face to face appointment.
We encourage you to practice social distancing, and you can learn more about why this is so important here.
