Many doctors will not treat this because it is a virus and it is thought to just “run it’s course”
Physicians with herbal knowledge will often treat CTF with herbal anti-viral herbs such as oilve leaf, lemon balm, garlic, ginger, licorice, rosemary, echineacea, elderberry, astragalus and Monolauren which is extracted from coconuts and immune boosting essential oils.
