Study shows over-the-counter antihistamines could help treat long-COVID​


Researchers have discovered that over-the-counter antihistamines have been shown to greatly reduce the symptoms of long-COVID, according to a study published by the Journal for Nurse Practitioners.

What is long-COVID?: Long-COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV2 (PASC), is when an individual experiences long-term symptoms of COVID-19 even after the virus has left their body, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  • Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, persistent cough, chest pain, muscle aches, loss of smell or taste, depression or anxiety, and fever.
  • Currently, there is no treatment for long-COVID. Researchers are working to find ways to alleviate symptoms, according to the University of California, Los Angeles.
