Highlights
A novel COVID-19 protocol used in adults, children and pregnant patients
The used drugs are readily available, FDA approved and relatively safe and inexpensive
NSAIDs might play an integral role in all cases of COVID-19 preventing its complications
NSAIDs when administered early in COVID-19 might prevent lymphocyte distraction away from the lungs, induce the release of several anti-inflammatory cytokines and ameliorate the release of the proinflammatory cytokines involved in the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 progressive morbidity and mortality
Nitazoxanide/azithromycin combination is being proven effective in COVID-19 cases
Antitussives are not recommended to be used in mild-moderate COVID-19 cough episodes
