Can a 4-year-old child with cytomegalovirus be cured?

Patient's question:

My friend's child is over 4 years old. Recently, they have been having frequent fevers, and after examination, it was found that they are infected with cytomegalovirus. I asked the doctor, is this disease treatable? Are there any recommended (specific drugs)? Does it have any sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cytomegalovirus infection will certainly cause physical damage, leading to a series of symptoms such as anemia, liver damage, elevated bilirubin, etc. Therefore, antiviral drugs and drugs to improve anemia are needed. It is recommended and guided that although drug treatment does have certain side effects, compared to the therapeutic effect, the benefits outweigh the risks. However, we need to pay attention to the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. If the adverse drug reactions cannot be tolerated, alternative drug treatment can be considered.
