Appointments are available Monday - Friday and on weekends by special request. If you need help on a weekend, please email frontdesk@breathemd.org. In-person appointments are also available Monday - Friday and on some Saturdays.

Breathing Treatments

Many patients with COVID experience tightness in their chest from inflammation of the lower airway passages. We offer nebulized breathing treatments with budesonide (steroid), albuterol and hypertonic saline. At home, we recommend frequent nebulizer saline treatments; if you don’t have a nebulizer, you can add salt water to a humidifier and place it close to your bed.

IV Fluids + IV Vitamins + IV Tylenol

Fever can quickly lead to dehydration. We offer IV fluids with vitamins such as Zinc and Vitamin C for patients who are unable to keep up with the fluid loss from prolonged fever. IV Tylenol and/or Toradol is great for fast relief of headache and fever.

Other IV medications, such as antibiotics, steroids, and Zofran for nausea are also available.

Vitamin Injections

Our BreatheMD immune booster contains B12, B-complex, Glutathione and Vitamin C and can be given while you stay in your vehicle. Each element of the immune booster can be offered individually, as well as Lysine, B6, Biotin, and Taurine.

Sinus Therapy

Once you are 10 days past infection, we offer in-office sinus irrigation and drainage with powered irrigation and suction, steam, aromatherapy, heat, percussion and massage. You will leave feeling clear-headed and able to breathe!

Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system can become stagnate during illness from decreased mobility. We offer the Ballancer Pro lymphatic drainage system to stimulate the lymphatic system for detox and waste removal.
