|Updated:

Two people experiencing the symptoms of COVID-19 long after the typical time frame of the disease have reported an almost full recovery after taking daily doses of over-the-counter antihistamines.

Antihistamines, drugs commonly used to treat allergies, influenza, and the common cold were taken by the individuals to treat “long COVID,” also known as post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and has no established treatment protocol.
