Individuals who are overweight or obese, smokers, or those with weakened immune systems may also have a higher risk of severe illness.
Early evaluation and supportive care may help reduce the risk of complications. Some treatment approaches may include medications or supplements such as zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), and other therapies as recommended by a healthcare provider.
Individuals experiencing difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, or persistent high fever should seek immediate medical attention.
