President Joe Biden’s Covid-19 symptoms “have improved,” his physician said Friday, but the President has taken additional medications to address his temperature and cough.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a letter that Biden had a temperature of 99.4 degrees Thursday evening, which was treated with Tylenol. His temperature has remained normal since then, according to Covid response coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha.
Biden, who had asthma when he was younger, is being treated with an albuterol inhaler “that he uses as needed,” O’Connor added, as well as “oral hydration.” The President has used the inhaler a few times since testing positive, Jha said during Friday’s White House press briefing, adding that Biden last used an inhaler last fall when he had a cold.
