There is no specific treatment for adenovirus infections. Since most adenovirus infections cause mild symptoms, they may sometimes not require any treatment. When treatment is needed, doctors may prescribe medications to alleviate symptoms. Patients with uncomplicated infections are generally advised bed rest, isolation, good hygiene practices to prevent spread, over-the-counter fever reducers, and ample fluid intake. For conjunctivitis, artificial tear drops may be recommended; in cases of severe nasal congestion or discharge, cool-mist humidifiers and bronchodilator medications may be advised.
