In asthmatic or seasonal allergic patients who get symptoms in spring it is mostly assumed to be asthma/allergy. but anyone can get corona Virus infection for which you can see literature. most important is history of exposure to corona positive person.
One can't say confidently about time of full eradication but hopefully it'll be reduced in about a month, insha Allah.
It is not clearly known whether it is seasonal and whether it Will be definitely killed by summer..
About kawanji it is said that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) told there is cure for all illnesses except death.. all other desi totkas may have some good effects for symptoms relief.
It is advisable each person use separate pots for steam inhalation.
gargals have got good effect for sore hroat...

It is not certain how long the virus that causes COVID-19 survives on surfaces, but it seems to behave like other coronaviruses. Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. While without humans host the virus can not multiply or grow further in the environment, therefore self coranitine is the best stretegy to control the spread of viruses.
According to available preliminary data, the median time from onset to clinical recovery for mild cases is approximately 2 weeks and is 3-6 weeks for patients with severe or critical disease.
Several researchers have suggested that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the disease it causes, COVID-19, will go away on its own in the warmer weather . Some have even suggested that the experience with SARS in 2003 provides evidence for this assertion.
Ans. 3
