Category C drugs like C-3s and C-4s are probably being used in this pandemic as people become more and more stressed and prone to needing medicine treatment for anxiety. The aches and pains are probably being treated with NSAIDS (anti-inflammatory drugs), which will also reduce fever, except aspirin in children is contraindicated due to the potential for Reyes Syndrome. Any stronger pain medications like codeine, or other opioids (narcotics) may not be used since they can suppress respirations and perhaps make it more difficult to clear lungs of secretions and sputum. For the same reason, cough medications that are expectorants, instead of suppressants, would be a first choice. In extreme cases, codeine cough medications may be necessary for an unrelenting cough, however. Treatment is not synonymous with cure...just measures to make patients feel better and endure the disease.
