Again, the sign and symptoms are related to the respiratory system only along with fever. Since there is not much clarity about its complications and other issues which patients can face, there is no one way to deal with this situation.
As per the available data and as a general rule of Ayurveda strength of diseases can be reduced by only good immunity.
