Patient's question:
My father has had a continuous and unbroken high fever for half a month. Generally, eating doesn't affect him, but he gets a fever once a day, feeling exhausted, and has a dry mouth and tongue. The checkup said it's a cytomegalovirus infection. I want to know what to do about a cytomegalovirus infection?Doctor's answer:
The cytomegalovirus infection you mentioned is primarily treated with antiviral therapy, and it is treatable. As long as you have confidence, nothing is uncurable! It's best to have a thorough check-up at the hospital. You must pay attention to your child's hygiene and safety in the future to prevent other diseases caused by hygiene issues! Additionally, because the medication for this disease can cause liver damage, liver function tests are necessary. It's not the virus that damages liver function, but rather the side effects of the medication.
