There is no specific treatment for adenovirus infections. Since most adenovirus infections cause mild symptoms, treatment may not be necessary at all. When treatment is needed, doctors may prescribe medications to alleviate symptoms. For uncomplicated infections, patients are usually advised to rest, isolate themselves, practice good hygiene (to prevent spread), take over-the-counter fever reducers, and drink plenty of fluids. For conjunctivitis, artificial tears may be recommended, along with cool-mist humidifiers and a decongestant in cases of severe congestion or runny nose.
