8. Headache: The Painful Companion of Adenovirus Infection
Headaches are a common symptom of adenovirus infection and can range from mild to severe. The cause of headaches in adenovirus infections is not entirely understood, but it may be related to the body’s immune response or inflammation in the nervous system.
To help manage headaches caused by adenovirus infection, stay well-hydrated, get plenty of rest, and consider over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Applying a cold or warm compress to the forehead can also provide relief in some cases.
If headaches are severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as high fever, neck stiffness, or vision changes, it’s essential to seek medical attention, as these could be signs of a more severe infection or other underlying issue. (8)
