Disease: Enterovirus D68

Treatment

No medicines target this virus. Antibiotics won't help, since the illness is not caused by bacteria.

You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever, which might help you feel a little better, just like with a normal cold.

If your symptoms are severe, you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room.

If it's an emergency -- for instance, you're having trouble breathing -- call 911. You may need to be hospitalized.

Who's At Risk?

Anyone can get it, but children age 6 weeks to 16 years may be especially vulnerable.

Infants and people who have immune system disorders are the most likely to develop severe complications.
