How is enterovirus D68 managed or treated?

Mild symptoms of EV-D68 infection typically improve in a week or two with minimal at-home care. Antiviral medications aren’t effective against this virus.

You can take these steps to ease symptoms:

• Drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest.
• Take hot, steamy showers or sit in a steamy bathroom to loosen congestion.
• Take over-the-counter pain medicines or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for fever and pain.
