The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness of intranasal-administered Chlorpheniramine Maleate in COVID-19-positive participants as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To assess the efficacy of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (1.0%) for improving clinical recovery in COVID-19 patients. * To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of nasal spray with Chlorpheniramine (1%) as an adjunct to the standard of care in reducing hospitalizations and improving clinical recovery in adult patients with mild COVID-19.
The main goal of the present study is to examine the effectiveness of CPM intranasal spray as part of early treatment for COVID-19. The study will test the hypothesis that intranasal CPM would accelerate clinical recovery, particularly the alleviation of sensory symptoms and URS, in patients with COVID-19.

Daily symptoms score (DSS)
Change from baseline daily symptoms score (DSS) to day 7 The DSS is an instrument comprised of a four-point severity rating scale ranging from 0 to 3. 0 = no symptoms 1. = mild symptoms 2. = moderate symptoms 3. = severe symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline through day 7
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Change from baseline visual analog scale (VAS) to day 7 The VAS is a quantitative method that evaluates the severity of symptoms on a scale of 1-10 (no signs to worst symptoms). A 10 cm line is used to grade the severity of symptoms from "no symptoms" (0 cm) to "the highest level of symptoms" (10 cm).
Time frame: Baseline through day 7
Hospitalization
The proportion of Hospitalizations
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28
Mortality
Rate of mortality
Time frame: Baseline through Day 28
The proportion of subjects reporting olfactory function
Olfactory function reported on a four-point severity rating scale ranging from 0 to 3. 0-normal 1. slightly damaged 2. moderately damaged 3. away
Time frame: Baseline through Day 7
The proportion of subjects reporting the presence of upper respiratory symptoms
The proportion of subjects reporting the presence of upper respiratory symptoms (anosmia, ageusia, cough, and nasal congestion) using a yes or no scale. Yes- Present No- No symptoms present
