Some of di Drugs wey doctors take treat President Trump Trump pictured making a phone call at Walter Reed on Sunday Normally, Treatments fall into two camps - those wey dey directly attack di virus and dey more likely to dey useful for di first phase and drugs to calm di immune system wey dey more likely to work for di second. Since President Trump test positive for coronavirus, e don dey receive some number of different drugs, according to wetin im doctors reveal. So which drugs dem dey use and wetin e tell us about Trump condition? Dis steroid dey save lives by calming di immune system, but dem need to use am for di right time. Give am too early and di drug fit make tins worse by hindering di body ability to fight off di virus. Dis no be di kind of drug wey you go usually give pesin wey dey di "mild" stage of di disease. One trial of di drug wey take place for UK show say di benefit dey come in for di point wey pesin need oxygen - wey Presido Trump receive briefly. World Health Organization advise di using of di steroid for "severe and critical" cases. Dis na combination of antibodies, wey dis company Regeneron dey make, and e dey mimic di human being immune response. Di antibodies physically stick to di coronavirus so dat e no fit get inside di body cells and dey make di virus more "visible" to di rest of di immune system. Dem first develop dis antiviral drug as treatment for Ebola. E dey work by confusing di virus as e look chemically similar to some di raw materials di virus need to replicate.

E no dey clear if any of these na purposely for Covid 19. Zinc na mineral wey get role for di immune system, but no evidence on show say dis kain supplements dey improve pipo ability to fight di virus. Vitamin D dey known as di sunshine vitamin as e dem form for di skin as response to sunlight. E also get role to play for healthy immune system, but again no evidence don show say taking supplements dey help against Covid 19. Famotidine dey decrease stomach acid production and dem dey use am for pipo with stomach ulcers or reflux. E get one small study wey suggest say e fit help, but dem consider di quality low and researchers don call for more research. Melatonin na hormone wey di body dey make in di evening and e dey help us sleep. Dem dey sometimes give am as treatment for insomnia. Aspirin na pain killer and blood thinner wey dem dey use take reduce di risk of blood clots. Covid patients dey experience unusual blood clotting and e fit also calm inflammation inside di body. Dem don do trials for aspirin in Covid, but no evidence don show if e dey useful.
