∙ 14y agoWith the worlds technology today, there is surprisingly no treatment for a virus. You can only treat the symptoms of a virus to make you feel a little bit better. Some general over the counter drugs are Tylenol Advil and maybe halls. If you are sick with a bacterial infection though, they can be treated with some prescribed medicine from your doctor or physician.

Although a number of Antiviral medications have and are being developed the simplest way to treat a virus is to prevent it acquiring in the first case. A virus cannot multiply until it is inside the body. It needs a host cell to invade so that it can multiply. The easiest way to avoid this happening is to take these simple precautions 1) always wash hands after using the toilet, before preparing food etc 2) make sure Cooking Equipment is clean and safe to use,3) always use a handkerchief when coughing, sneezing and discard/ wash well after use.4) avoid all unnecessary contact with others if you or they have a cold or flu.
If you have a viral infection drink plenty of water, take a painkiller eg.panadol, paracetamol to reduce temperature (recommended dosage only).
Visit your G.P. antiviral medication or vaccination may be needed.
Some antiviral medications are Zovirax for coldsores, Flu vaccine, shingles vaccine.
Remember antibiotics will not cure Viruses.
