What should be done about cytomegalovirus infection?

Patient's question:

The child has been in a poor condition recently, with poor appetite and always feeling weak. We took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor diagnosed her with cytomegalovirus infection, but it is currently unclear whether it is congenital or acquired, and they asked us to understand and treat it as soon as possible. She is currently being treated in the hospital and is taking medication.
What kind of assistance is needed: How to deal with the child's cytomegalovirus infection? Is it better to treat congenital or acquired cases?

Doctor's answer:

First, don't hurry, I am also a parent of a child. In our family, we found out about this when the baby was two months old, and it was developing similarly. Going to the hospital and taking medicine usually lasts at least a week. Two courses of treatment, more than a month, are generally like this. Of course, it's easier to treat if it's acquired later, but there's no need to worry too much about congenital cases either. After treatment, regular follow-up tests are sufficient. The above is advice for the question "What should I do about cytomegalovirus infection?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
