10. Treatment of SARS

There is no definitive cure for SARS. Rather, doctors undertake supportive treatments that may include analgesics to bring down the fever, steroids to reduce lung inflammation, and oxygen or respiratory support for people who have pneumonia and difficulty breathing. In some cases, they may prescribe antiviral drugs. Treatment is individualized based on the person's symptoms.
