Recommendations of the estonian society of family doctors for the covid-19 treatment for adults

• COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of thrombosis, so it is important to make sure you drink enough fluids during the day and try to move around the room regularly.
• Regular breathing exercises are recommended: breathing with tubed lips, blowing soap bubbles, blowing bubbles in a bottled water with a thick straw, or blowing a balloon. The room should be ventilated after exercise.
• If you have a fever over 38.5° C or feel unwell, you may try over-the-counter painkillers like paracetamol, ibuprofen, dexketoprofen or aspirin. The following table shows the doses for adults and the maximum allowed daily intake.
