        <p id="paragraph-e4b8f9296386"><bold id="strong-1">Background:</bold> Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly become a common illness, affecting over 1% of the global population in 2020. Although some patients are severely affected and may have life-threatening complications, most SARS-CoV-2 infections cause mild disease. Yet, symptoms can entail considerable suffering. This is the first worldwide systematic review comparing COVID-19 symptoms and symptomatic treatment recommendations from the literature and health authorities, with a focus on self-care medication in mild disease.</p>
        <p id="p-45dd1868bf8d"><bold id="strong-2">Methods:</bold> To systematically compare symptoms and symptomatic treatment recommendations in mild COVID-19 from the scientific literature and by health authorities worldwide, we have performed<bold id="strong-3"> </bold> systematic literature searches for COVID-19 and symptoms, limited to mild disease or self-reported symptoms and patients staying home. Web sites of the major national health authorities from Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Oceania were searched for patient recommendations.<bold id="strong-4"/></p>
        <p id="p-2a48496f4843"><bold id="strong-5">Results:</bold> Symptoms of COVID-19 are multifarious, touching practically all organ systems. Except for the neurological symptoms (e.g. anosmia and ageusia), the most common complaints of mild disease (e.g. fever, cough, rhinitis, sore throat, headache, myalgia, and diarrhea) are amenable to self-care medication. From the health authorities of 30 countries across all global regions, 29 recommendations were reviewed. Practically all the authorities mention fever and cough, while other symptoms, in particular neurological and gastrointestinal manifestations, are not listed consistently. Only four of the 29 institutions provide patients with specific recommendations for symptomatic treatment, whereas two advise explicitly against any symptomatic therapy.</p>

      <p id="p-d855fc12803d">Most subjects infected with SARS-CoV-2 will experience symptoms. While it was previously estimated that about 40-45% remain asymptomatic <xref id="x-da20bb949287" rid="R116504322765342" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>, a recent meta-analysis determined the rate of asymptomatic infection may be lower at only 17%, although advising that more and robust epidemiology evidence is needed <xref id="x-f921911ceaec" rid="R116504322765343" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>.

      <p id="p-428541634ea1">The literature search was performed in PubMed on December 31, 2020. The following filters were applied: Text availability - Abstract; Article type - all; Publication date - any; Language - any. Key words: COVID-19 AND (symptom OR symptomatic OR manifestation OR complaint) AND (mild[TI] OR mildly[TI] OR non-severe[TI] OR self[TI] OR home[TI]). Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) were not used, because they yielded much fewer results, possibly due to indexing lag <xref id="x-8a927bcd6490" rid="R116504322765347" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>. Abstracts and selected full texts were searched for symptomatic treatment recommendations for patients without underlying disease and not requiring hospitalization, as shown in <xref id="x-7e73ad85ac3c" rid="f-596880aaf808" ref-type="fig">Figure 1</xref>.</p>
      <p id="p-f72205bdaccd">The websites of worldwide Health Authorities were accessed between December 28 and 31, 2020. For each global region, Health Authorities of 5 most populated and/or economically important countries were identified, as shown in <xref id="x-b0b100d3ca79" rid="tw-e2392c5370f6" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>. If several of a country’s major governmental Health Authorities provided information on COVID-19, the institution providing most patient information was chosen. The information was accessed by clicking through visible headings, such as COVID-19 or news, rather than by using search terms. Professional information (e.g. manuals for health care providers) was accessed only if no patient information was available.</p>

      <p id="paragraph-17">To our knowledge, this work is the first systematic review comparing the symptomatic treatment recommendations for COVID-19 patients. Several previous reviews have focused on the nature of symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients with mild disease, non-severe disease, or not requiring hospitalization <xref rid="R116504322765348" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765355" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765356" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765357" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765358" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765359" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>. Most of these regarded specific symptoms, such as smell or taste alterations <xref rid="R116504322765348" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765358" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765359" ref-type="bibr">21</xref> <sup id="superscript-3"> </sup>or gastrointestinal symptoms <xref id="x-1ae6d8399a07" rid="R116504322765355" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> . The two reviews considering all symptoms / any of the symptoms were limited to clinical studies published in English and Chinese language, before 16 March <xref id="x-dd02a181b66c" rid="R116504322765356" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>  and 1 April 2020 <xref id="x-6903067042ea" rid="R116504322765357" ref-type="bibr">19</xref> , respectively. By contrast, our review was not restricted by article type or language, and considered both symptoms and symptomatic treatments for mild COVID-19 patients not requiring hospitalization. Moreover, we compared the patient recommendations for symptomatic treatments by the major health authorities globally and in any language.</p>
      <p id="paragraph-18">Major limitations of the present literature search include the restriction to publications listed in PubMed and a limited string of key words. COVID-19 studies are often published first or exclusively in databases not covered by PubMed <xref id="x-17bd3d70cc5b" rid="R116504322765394" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>. Additional information might have been retrieved by considering all publications of COVID-19 and symptoms without <italic id="emphasis-2">a priori</italic> restriction to the title terms mild, mildy, non-severe, self, or home (which yields 21,418 results).  Hence the literature search presented here may not give an exhaustive list of all symptoms and treatments in mild COVID-19. Rather, it reflects the information that is currently (as of 31 December 2020) available to health care professionals searching in a major, public, and trusted search engine <xref id="x-1180dee1fd5a" rid="R116504322765395" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>. </p>

        <bold id="s-131a5f386066">Review of symptoms</bold>
      </p>
      <p id="paragraph-19">The literature review of mild COVID-19 symptoms revealed surprising homogeneity, particularly among the 11 prospective studies not focusing on particular symptoms, although these studies were conducted in various countries across Asia (India, South Korea), Europe (Germany, Italy and the Netherlands), and North America (Canada and the United States). Thus, all studies report fever, cough, neurological symptoms (e.g. anosmia, ageusia), gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g. nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), nasal symptoms (e.g. rhinorrhea and nasal congestion), headache, sore throat, and body aches (e.g. myalgia), with the exception of one study not specifying headache. </p>
      <p id="paragraph-20">In contrast to the information available from the published studies, the review of the symptoms detailed on the web site of the major health authorities exposed major omissions and discrepancies. Thus, of 29 sites (4-5 for each global region) that were accessed, only 5 (17%) listed neurological and abdominal symptoms in addition to fever and cough. In a reverse situation to the published studies, only one of the health authorities provided the most frequent symptoms of mild COVID-19, which also include nasal symptoms, headache, sore throat, and body aches. This is particularly concerning regarding the neurological symptoms, such as anosmia and ageusia, and the gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Anosmia / dysosmia and ageusia / dysgeusia are frequent in mild to moderate COVID-19 <xref id="x-e21fdfd84e85" rid="R116504322765360" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>, independently predictive of COVID-19 infection <xref id="x-14251611a16b" rid="R116504322765365" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>, and often the only signs of the disease <xref id="x-4bd1bc9d84cc" rid="R116504322765366" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>, Similarly, COVID-19 patients may present with gastrointestinal complaints as the only symptoms <xref id="x-4ee2c84941a7" rid="R116504322765396" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>. Anosmia, nausea, and vomiting have been identified as the strongest predictors for COVID-19 infection alongside fever, chills, and dyspnea <xref id="x-acb8906f624c" rid="R116504322765376" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>.  </p>
      <p id="paragraph-21">We are at loss of any plausible explanation why most health authorities worldwide have chosen to omit characteristic COVID-19 symptoms, in particular the loss of smell or taste alteration, from their patient information. Olfactory disorders associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have been widely published since the first half of 2020 <xref rid="R116504322765397" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765398" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765399" ref-type="bibr">61</xref> , while a substantial proportion of the institutions have apparently updated their information in the second half of 2020. While such omissions may adversely affect the containment of COVID-19, as more cases remain undetected and are not isolated, they could also worsen its prognosis, by impeding the timely diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia <xref id="x-3023c6ce8d68" rid="R116504322765400" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>.</p>
      <p id="p-46c97ebe7e4b">
        <bold id="s-656a2a3cfc56">Review of treatments</bold>
      </p>
      <p id="paragraph-22">Most of the symptoms of mild COVID-19, such as fever, cough, rhinitis, sore throat, headache, myalgia, and diarrhea) can be treated with over-the-counter medications, such as paracetamol (acetaminophen), antitussives, antihistamines, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or antidiarrheals. The benefit/risk profile of these symptomatic treatments <xref rid="R116504322765401" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765402" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765403" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765404" ref-type="bibr">66</xref> , as well as of herbal medicines <xref id="x-bb8b0dfbbec5" rid="R116504322765405" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>, is well established in other viral diseases, including the common cold, influenza, and acute gastroenteritis. However, the information retrieved in the present literature review is scarce regarding symptomatic treatments in COVID-19 patients. Little more information is currently obtained when the search is not limited to mild disease, self-care treatment, and patients staying home. While early warnings against the use of NSAIDs or corticosteroids in COVID-19 patients have been subsequently refuted or ‘toned down’ <xref rid="R116504322765406" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765407" ref-type="bibr">69</xref> , the actual clinical evidence for the efficacy and safety of symptomatic COVID-19 treatments is still sketchy and limited to hospitalized patients <xref rid="R116504322765408" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>, <xref rid="R116504322765409" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>. A conclusion from this is that more research into symptom relief in acute COVID-19 in ambulatory patients is urgently needed.</p>
      <p id="paragraph-23">In our study patient advice from the health authorities for symptomatic treatments was rare, as general or symptom-related advice was given by only three and one web sites, respectively, of 29 institutions. There may be several reasons for health authorities not providing patient advice for the symptomatic treatment of COVID-19. First, as documented in the literature review, data on the clinical efficacy and safety of self-care treatment in COVID-19 is still scarce. Thus the Indian health authority stated that recommendations for self-care medication are pending on the results of ongoing clinical trials <xref id="x-50169a69b420" rid="R116504322765410" ref-type="bibr">72</xref> . Second, health authorities might try turning patients away from self-care in order to direct them to professional care for a potentially deadly disease (although in other countries, patients with mild disease are discouraged from health care attendance to avoid infection transmission). Third, withholding symptomatic treatments could potentially avert patients from pursuing their usual activities, such as school or work, and thus spreading the disease.</p>
      <p id="paragraph-24">In the absence of official recommendations for symptomatic treatments, however, the COVID-19 epidemic has fueled the spread of misinformation and use of potentially harmful remedies, such as alcohol (i.e., the ingestion of ethanol or methanol), antibiotics, and antimalarials <xref id="x-6cdea18750f6" rid="R116504322765411" ref-type="bibr">73</xref> . A recent international survey has shown the widespread use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients with COVID-19 <xref id="x-7acc9889b8e5" rid="R116504322765412" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>. More efficient patient information and the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship are warranted to mitigate the negative consequences of such practices.</p>

      <title id="t-263ad2194322">CONCLUSIONS </title>
      <p id="paragraph-25">This review has searched which symptoms of COVID-19 are amenable to self-care and which symptomatic treatments are recommended by the major national health authorities worldwide. </p>
      <p id="paragraph-26">The results reveal that the patient information provided by the health authorities worldwide is incomplete regarding the symptoms of COVID-19 and scarce regarding symptomatic treatments. Fewer than one out of seven institutions make specific recommendations for self-care treatment.</p>
      <p id="paragraph-27">As most health authorities worldwide do not present the full information on the characteristic symptoms of COVID‑19 that is available from clinical studies, the recognition of COVID-19 by patients, and therefore their testing, isolation, and access to appropriate care, are compromised.</p>
      <p id="paragraph-28">While the clinical data on the symptomatic treatment of COVID-19 are still scarce, especially for ambulatory patients, the lack of recommendations for self-care treatment by many health authorities may contribute to suffering and lead patients to use less reliable sources of information and potentially harmful remedies.</p>
      <p id="clipboard_property">A comprehensive and consistent description of COVID-19 symptoms by the health authorities, particularly regarding the neurological and gastrointestinal manifestations, and providing practical information on symptomatic treatments, may help to curb the epidemic and improve patients’ lives.</p>
