Question

What should be done for the treatment of a child infected with EBV? If the child exhibits symptoms of dehydration, are there corresponding treatment measures?

Answer

The treatment for EBV infection is determined based on the child’s specific symptoms. If the child shows signs of dehydration, intravenous fluids can be considered to alleviate the symptoms. Typical manifestations of EBV include persistent nasal congestion, nosebleeds, decreased hearing, tinnitus, headaches, facial numbness, diplopia, and enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Parents should promptly take their child to the hospital for examination to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment. If the child shows no apparent clinical symptoms, there is no need to be overly concerned, but if there are any doubts, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a check-up.
