As a new strain of deadly coronavirus infecting hundreds in China crosses international borders into the U.S., this outbreak begs the question: how do you treat coronavirus? The new strain of coronavirus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has killed at least 17 people and sickened close to 600 others since December. Infected patients should treat symptoms the same way they would a cold -- with rest, pain or fever medication and plenty of fluids. Though coronaviruses, named for their crown-like shape, have been around for years, the Wuhan coronavirus has not previously been identified in humans. The immediate health risk posed by the Wuhan coronavirus is low in America.
