Pediatricians recommend giving children Zithromax or Azithromycin, strictly observing age-specific dosages. In addition to pharmacological agents for lowering fever, physical methods such as cold rubdowns and the application of an ice heater in the projection of large blood vessels can be used in the treatment of adenovirus infection. To accelerate the elimination of toxins from the body, the patient is shown a plentiful warm drink.

A good prophylactic agent is leukocyte interferon (diluted with water and buried in the nasal passages). To get more information about the treatment of infectious diseases in children, in particular, about the treatment of adenovirus infection, we recommend watching this video review - withDoctor Komarovsky gives advice to parents:
Adenovirus infection is a set of diseases of an infectious nature of viral etiology, the course of which is based on symptoms characteristic of damage to the respiratory system, conjunctiva of the eyes, manifested by a moderate intoxication syndrome and quite often with the spread of the pathological process to the intestinal lymphatic tissue. Most often, adenovirus infection is detected in children, however, cases of the disease are also frequent in the adult population.
As a rule, the diagnosis of adenovirus infection is made in the winter, but sporadic cases are also frequent in the warm summer season. Acute adenovirus infection is widespread on almost every continent of our earth, and one can say in all states, its epidemic cases are not uncommon. Complications of adenovirus infection, as a rule, develop in the process of attaching a secondary infection. After the transferred illness, cases of re-infection are recorded, which indicates the inability to form persistent immunity.
