Enterovirus D68 is a virus most commonly developed in young babies, children, and sometimes teenagers. Those who have a weaker immune system are more likely to contract the disease and suffer from risky complications. When you have Enterovirus D68, you'll probably just feel like you have a common cold. But if the virus becomes more severe, you could experience wheezing or have difficulty breathing. Although the Enterovirus D68 most often clears up on its own in about a week, more severe cases cause hospitalization.The virus has been around for a number of years. In fact, medical experts first came across it in 1962. Until recent years, it had only affected a small portion of the population each year. But, in 2014, a Enterovirus D68 outbreak was reported by the Centers for Disease Control. Since the virus has the potential to be dangerous, it's important to keep an eye out for the symptoms, which include runny nose, a fever, cough, as well as aches and pains. In more severe cases, symptoms may include wheezing and difficulty breathing. There is no special medication to treat Enterovirus D68 as it is caused by bacterial. Read on for more details about the symptoms of Enterovirus D68 and how to alleviate them.

1. Body and Muscle Aches

Since Enterovirus D68 is sometimes accompanied with a fever, and due to the fact that your body will be trying to fight off the virus as best it can, you are likely to experience muscle aches and pains. Although they are not a severe symptom, aches and pains can be very uncomfortable. In some cases, the pain can be unbearable. You can try to minimize the pain by taking over the counter pain medicine, such as Advil or Tylenol. You can also try to ease your pain by taking a hot bath or using a heating pad.Also, be sure to get plenty of sleep if you’re experiencing symptoms of Enterovirus D68, as this should help you regain your strength and help ensure your muscles start to feel better. You should also be sure to avoid exerting yourself if possible. Too much activity could make your muscles feel worse. If the pain becomes too severe and seems to last for an extended period of time, be sure to consult with your doctor to ensure that your body is fighting off the virus on its own. If it isn’t and your symptoms get worse, you may require a more advanced form of treatment.Next
