Question
Doctor, my child has been showing symptoms of EBV for a long time, and I am very worried. I’m afraid it might become severe. What treatment should be considered?
Answer
There is no special treatment available for EBV at present, and it mainly involves the use of antiviral drugs and symptomatic management. EBV is not a new virus and has been discovered and researched for its pathogenic spectrum. It belongs to the Herpesvirus family, including types A and B, with a linear double-stranded DNA genome. This virus can cause various diseases. Currently, there is no targeted treatment method, and infections generally heal on their own.
