How to deal with cytomegalovirus infection

Patient's question:

My daughter is three months old and weighed 6.2 pounds at birth. All check-ups were normal, but two weeks later, I noticed she had a lot of phlegm. I gave her medication for it. After five days of hospital treatment, she recovered completely. Now, she has no more phlegm and her appetite has increased significantly compared to before. What should I do? Where can I find better treatment?

Doctor's answer:

This disease doesn't have a specific effective medication. Various antiviral drugs cannot address the root problem, and treatment is generally symptomatic. Cytomegalovirus can reduce the immune function of the body, especially the cell-mediated immune function. When you get sick in the future, it's best not to treat yourself but to go to the hospital. Medications cannot solve the root problem, and often after stopping them, the virus hides and rebounds. Given that this virus may be one of the causes of AIDS, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately.
