A very resilient and persistent microorganism, adenovirus sticks around, clinging on to objects and surfaces for a long time. Even alcohol-based sanitizers and cleaners can’t shift this little limpet of a disease. Oral secretions, droplets of breath and other such horrible oozes from orifices allow transmission from one child to another to happen readily and rapidly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So too, can it transmit via indirect contact, which makes doorknobs, shopping trolleys and toys all potential sources of contamination? If adenovirus is about, your kids are probably going to get it. So once they\u2019ve got it, you need to know one thing, how to get rid of it. Well, here are 8 ways to get rid of adenovirus, some more gruesome than others, but all effective in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s worth saying that kids should stay home when they\u2019re suffering from a fever, and it wouldn\u2019t hurt to teach them to wash their hands regularly. Prevention, if you can manage it, is always better than the cure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Lots of rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, you can virtually sleep it off. Bed rest, or sofa rest if you\u2019re that way inclined (or reclined), is one of the best ways to beat the virus<\/a>. With the body\u2019s efforts and energies concentrated on things only, killing off the virus, you can relax your brain and body, or the kids\u2019 brains and bodies, with a box set binge and a box of chocolates on the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may seem like a lounge lizard\u2019s paradise, but this genuinely is one sure-fire way to beat adenovirus and keep it beat. When you\u2019re feeling poorly, you\u2019re less inclined to want to do things anyway, so now is the time to relax, recover and recuperate, no matter how old you are. Sometimes, all kids need to feel better is a free pass to sleep all day, without having to worry about getting up and out. Sleep it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2.     Nasal suctioning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not nearly as science fiction as the name would have you believe, nasal suctioning is a process that medical professionals can provide. It is up there with one of the most disgusting procedures you\u2019re ever likely to bear witness to, but nasal suctioning for children can really clear up their nasal congestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work? Well, the clue is in the name and it doesn\u2019t require much imagination to get a handle on this one. Essentially, a system of pipes and suction devices extract the green stuff from the far-reaching confines of a child’s nasal passages. You’ll be surprised at what comes out. A nickel, toy cars and a whole lot of snot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the gruesome process, the ends more than justify the means, as a whole bunch of adenovirus <\/a>carrying snot is expelled into clinically secure containers and condemned to the incinerator. The less snot there is, the more oxygen can get in, and the sooner a person can be fighting fit again. Gross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3.     Fever reducers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are not things that can cut John Travolta down at the ankles, unfortunately. Fever <\/a>reducers are a group of over the counter medications that can have you on the road to recovery quicker than you can say \u2018John Travolta needs his fever-reducing’, whatever that means. If a fever is left unchecked, it can fuel the fire and fan the flames of an illness like adenovirus, and so parents would be well advised to combine their ever so quaint home remedies, with a few of these scientifically proven measures. Tablets, liquids, lozenges, and sprays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are types of fever reducers to suit even the fussiest of children, so there really is no excuse for letting a fever run riot in a poor person ever again. This method for getting rid of adenovirus has absolutely nothing to do with John Travolta, and yet, there\u2019s his name again. It\u2019s crazy what a fever can do to you, just crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4.     See a doctor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wait? What? See a doctor? Yes. See a doctor or a trusted medical professional and they will create an elixir of life, so potent in its healing capabilities that you will not only recover, you will glow like the very angels above. This will almost certainly not happen, but you can, however, expect some excellent advice on how to get rid of adenovirus, along with absolute confirmation one way or another about whether its adenovirus you’re actually dealing with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry about troubling the doctor with your child\u2019s trivial illness. That\u2019s actually what they are there for, and all joking aside, your kids\u2019 health <\/a>should be your priority. Forget browsing Dr. Google and condemning your whole family to every tropical illness in the book, and make an appointment. It might just help you get rid of adenovirus. It might not, but give it a try. The doctor will see you now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5.     Drink lots of fluids<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Trying to get children to drink water, is like trying to lead the proverbial horse to water. You can fill the beaker up, do a cool dance, add a little umbrella, a slice of lemon and a few cubes of ice, but you can absolutely not get that child to drink. Water, apparently, is too boring. As a parent though, you should really be able to sympathize with this viewpoint, as let’s face it, if, given the choice between water and an ice-cold beer, your decision would be made before the conclusion of the question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s much the same with kids, and with the amount of advertising around today, it’s no surprise they always want the real thing, and anyway, what is the worst that could happen? Listen, if they want to drink soda<\/a>, or juice, at least they’ll be taking on vital fluids, and that is the most important thing here. Make them drink water when they’re better, then you\u2019ll have the last laugh.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6.     Avoid contamination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Quarantine <\/a>the house, blacklist your family and never go to the mall again. Doing all of the above will help you avoid contamination. It will also turn you and your immediate family into an eccentric assembly of hermits. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re trying to achieve then go on ahead and do it, however, if you think that all sounds a little extreme, you could just invest in a good cleaner and some new cleaning utensils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst you\u2019re at it, some hand soap in the bathrooms and the kitchen would be a good idea. Reminding even the littlest people in the house to wash their hands after going to the bathroom is a sure-fire winner when it comes to avoiding contamination too. If your children are infected, and you’d like to remain uninfected yourself, simply erect a tent in the garden. This is where your children shall live until they are well again. It’s only fair and they’ll learn to love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7.     Prevent reinfection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This refers to the annoying situation, played out in every family home, literally everywhere, all around the world. A bug or an infection <\/a>does not have to leave one person, make its way through everyone else and the house, only to end up causing the reinfection of the original carrier. That just wouldn\u2019t be fair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite what a lot of people think, cleaning up after yourselves, maintaining good personal hygiene and operating as a reasonable human being will make sure that any reinfection doesn\u2019t occur. It is by no means inevitable that someone should become reinfected with an illness like adenovirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is of course, unless the house is a seething mass of vile germs and gruesome viruses, forever circling the inhabitants and waiting to get reacquainted with their favorite immune system. Essentially, mind your manners, keep a clean house and wash your hands, but it\u2019s always easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8.     Humidifier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the driest of houses and the driest of atmospheres, does adenovirus thrive? The cold winter air is the perfect refrigerator for it to multiply in and the dry, sore throats that the house’s inhabitants develop are like nests for adenoviruses. The installation and use of a humidifier <\/a>in the home create an environment that is much less suited to the adenovirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it tries to move from person to person, a warm and humid atmosphere will inhibit this transmission. Make your home more hospitable for you and your family, whilst making it a holiday in hell for adenovirus. It’s a quick fix and can turn an adenovirus breeding ground into an adenovirus graveyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This list of ways to get rid of adenovirus is intended to be helpful. If it just so happens to come across as sarcastic, then that\u2019s an added bonus. If it makes you smile when you\u2019re feeling ill with adenovirus, then everyone’s a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
