How to deal with cytomegalovirus infection in a 1-year-old child

Patient's question:

Hello expert! Cytomegalovirus IgG positive, IgM negative, herpes virus positive. The child is currently 1 year old with fever for nearly 6 months. After some antibiotics were ineffective, (used ganciclovir for 1 week). Physical cooling has been used continuously without any antiviral medication.

Doctor's answer:

My child is also a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infected patient. He has had a fever for over a month. The doctor said this disease is difficult to treat. It has improved his own immunity. He is also doing well. This time, he has been cured. As long as he catches a cold, he will relapse. We took ganciclovir for 14 days. Now, we give him colostrum and amino acids every day to boost his immunity. It is best to have the child checked. My child's immune function is only that of a 1.5-year-old. A follow-up check-up will be given after half a month. When treating the child, be careful not to let him catch a cold.
