Could these Homeopathic Remedies be the answer? 

The following remedies have been safely and effectively used by homeopathic practitioners around the world in response to the current situation. Other remedies may be needed, but the ones below are widely available and will help a majority of cases.

If anxiety & fear is very strong – start with Aconite or Arsenicum. If dry cough is the main symptom, start with Aconite or Bryonia. If there is great weakness, use Arsenicum, Gelsemium, Phosphorus or Antimonium-Tart. If bronchial/respiratory symptoms predominate, use Bryonia, Antimonium-Tart. or Phosphorus.

Select the remedy that is the closest match to the patient’s main symptoms. Chosen remedy should be taken in 30c potency, every 2 hours at first then reduce frequency to every 4 hours until symptoms clear. If no relief within 24 hours, or symptom-picture alters, change the remedy accordingly. If you don’t have 30c potency, use what you have locally available – if the symptoms match, it will still help.  I personally like 200c.  

Aconite
