14. Loss of Appetite: The Unwelcome Nutritional Impact of Adenovirus Infection
Loss of appetite is another common symptom of adenovirus infection. This can occur as a result of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea or vomiting, or simply as a general response to the infection.
To help manage loss of appetite caused by adenovirus infection, try eating smaller, more frequent meals, and focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods that are easy to digest. Stay well-hydrated and avoid foods or beverages that may further upset the stomach.
If loss of appetite persists or leads to significant weight loss, it’s essential to seek medical attention, as this could be a sign of a more severe infection or another underlying issue. (14)
