The Adenovirus is quite common and attaches itself to the lungs, airways, eye lining, urinary tract, intestines, and the nervous system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the virus is so common and can attack so many parts of the body, it is important to watch out for signs of adenovirus early. Children are the most vulnerable group and tend to contract adenovirus more often than adults. This is due in part to the communal settings in daycares and educational facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adenovirus spreads from person to person by direct contact. This contact can be with the skin or with a surface that an infected person has come in contact with. The virus is not visible, but it can persist on surfaces. Though difficult, there are signs of the adenovirus that you can keep an eye out for in order to seek treatment in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Cough &amp;Trouble Breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/adenovirus\/about\/symptoms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adenovirus<\/a> can also be identified by a persistent and nagging cough. This can be a dry cough that doesn\u2019t produce mucus, or it may be a hacking cough that leaves a person breathless. The adenovirus infection will attack the lungs and other mucous membranes which can result in irritation and congestion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the infection progresses, a person may develop a cough as their body attempts to clear the breathing passages that have become congested. Over the counter medications can help ease the symptoms of a cough. Another symptom often paired with a nagging cough is difficulty breathing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the passages become congested and inflamed, it can be hard to inhale or exhale enough air. This shortness of breath can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and even irritation. In serious cases, a person suffering from adenovirus may need to take a nebulizer treatment to help restore their ability to breathe deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Corpus-Luteum.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2523\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Corpus-Luteum.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/9-most-common-ovarian-cyst-causes\/corpus-luteum\/\" class=\"wp-image-2523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Corpus-Luteum.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Corpus-Luteum-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Bladder Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4722944\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adults <\/a>and children who are suffering from an adenovirus infection may develop bladder problems. In some cases this may be the inability to pass urine, in addition, some people may have some pain when they urinate. If a person develops a urinary tract infection, but they have no other cause, it may be a result of adenovirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most people, adenovirus will cause the bladder to become inflamed which can be painful depending on the severity of the infection. Sometimes, adenovirus will disrupt the function of the urethra. This is the tube responsible for transporting urine away from the bladder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The urethra is how people are able to urinate. Adenovirus can cause this tube to become irritated or swollen which may cause pain, or even prevent urination. The majority of UTI infections will resolve over the course of a few days or when adenovirus has run its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nasal-Congestion.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2646\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nasal-Congestion.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/8-typical-measles-symptoms-in-children\/nasal-congestion\/\" class=\"wp-image-2646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nasal-Congestion.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Nasal-Congestion-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Nasal Congestion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasal congestion is another common sign that a person may be suffering from adenovirus. Congestion of the nasal passages will develop in both children and adults who suffer from adenovirus, though children tend to suffer more than adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congestion is common between many illnesses such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/flu\/pandemic-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">flu <\/a>or the common cold. A stuffy nose on its own may seem to be only a simple allergy or seasonal illness, but when combined with other symptoms adenovirus should be considered. Adenovirus is spread through contact with an infected person or by touching a surface that came in contact with an infected person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the main reasons parents are asked to keep their children at home when they have signs of illness such as nasal congestion. One way to get relief is to use a humidifier or to sit over steam for a few minutes to clear the sinuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eye-Trauma.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eye-Trauma.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Eye-Trauma-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Red eyes &amp; Eye Discharge&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pink eye is a common sign that a person may be suffering from an adenovirus infection. The infection often will attach itself to the lining of the eye and other mucous membranes which can result in a wide assortment of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7386785\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">symptoms <\/a>and secondary infections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conjunctivitis more commonly known as pinkeye is commonly found in older children and adults who suffer from adenovirus. Pharyngoconjunctival fever is also cause by adenovirus occurs more in the summer months than any other season. Keratoconjunctivitis is another more severe infection that can occur as a result of adenovirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who suffer from an infection of the conjunctiva and cornea in both eyes most likely have an adenoviral infection as well. Most of these symptoms and secondary infections are quite painful and extremely contagious. Red eyes, sensitivity to light, difficulty seeing clearly, and yellow discharge from eyes are common signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Temperature-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4294\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Temperature-1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/?attachment_id=4294\" class=\"wp-image-4294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Temperature-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Temperature-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Depending on how high the fever runs, it can even cause panic and confusion. One of the most common signs of adenovirus is the presence of fever, which will have a much more rapid onset in children than adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fever makes the body warm up quickly from the inside which can leave the nerve endings along the skin feeling cold until there is a regulation of temperature. During the interim, a person may feel chills or even shiver. Many parents of children who are suffering from adenovirus will bundle them in blankets which further increases their fever as opposed to reducing their chills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even adults suffering from adenovirus may feel the urge to bundle up when battling a fever. Although fever is a common sign of many conditions, when paired with other symptoms adenovirus can be easily identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sore-Throat.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"556\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sore-Throat.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/14-common-symptoms-strep-throat\/sore-throat\/\" class=\"wp-image-556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sore-Throat.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Sore-Throat-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Adenovirus can attack almost any part of the body, including your mucus glands and other mucous membranes. If you feel a sore throat coming on, it may be due to adenovirus. One way to soothe the symptom is to avoid cold drinks and food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also take a throat spray to numb the pain if the discomfort becomes unbearable. Another common symptom often paired with a sore throat is swollen glands. These glands swelling is a natural reaction to the body fighting against the adenovirus infection. Swollen glands caused by adenovirus usually develop on the neck, behind the ears, and near the armpits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In rare cases, glands across the body can become swollen as a result of the adenovirus infection. There is no treatment for swollen glands, however, in healthy individuals adenovirus will run its course over the period of a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Abdominal-Pain.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1703\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Abdominal-Pain.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/10-alarming-fatty-liver-symptoms\/abdominal-pain-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-1703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Abdominal-Pain.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Abdominal-Pain-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Abdominal Pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people will suffer from an adenovirus attack in their digestive system. When this occurs, it will present as pain in the intestines and the stomach cavity. There are several <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/referenceworkentry\/10.1007%2F978-94-007-0753-5_739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ailments <\/a>to cause stomach pain and abdominal pain which may make identifying adenovirus as the cause difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a doctor examines a patient to diagnose their ailment, they will press down on the abdomen. If there is a gastrointestinal infection present, this pressure will cause immediate discomfort. Everything enters the bloodstream via the digestive system. Both nutrients and infections can be passed through the digestive system. Adenovirus causes the walls of the intestines to become inflamed which increases the size in the gaps of its barrier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inflammation allows toxins and pathogens such as adenovirus to escape and wreak havoc in the body. While uncomfortably, pain and irritation in the abdomen from an adenovirus infection will usually clear up within two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/weakness-and-fatigue-headache.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3536\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/weakness-and-fatigue-headache.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/14-common-signs-of-a-mini-stroke\/weakness-and-fatigue-headache\/\" class=\"wp-image-3536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/weakness-and-fatigue-headache.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/weakness-and-fatigue-headache-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Some people who suffer from an adenovirus infection will develop cognitive complications and other nervous system dysfunctions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a ball of nerves that form a network that connects to the base of the brain stem. These nerves travel down the spine, through the chest, and over the face. When this network gets infected by adenovirus, normal nerve function is inhibited. Tremors, shaking, involuntary jerking and other ticks caused by an adenovirus will begin to taper off as the infection runs its course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are not often reports of permanent neurological complications as a result of adenovirus infection. It is normal to see a cognitive function disruption during an infection. This can be as innocuous as a slow memory or as severe as delirium. The severity is often determined by which other symptoms are paired with the infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Travelers-Diarrhea-stress.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Travelers-Diarrhea-stress.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Travelers-Diarrhea-stress-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

It can result in a stomach upset, acidity, vomiting, and nausea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though adenovirus tends to affect children the most, adults have can also fall victim to the infection. It is spread through body fluids, and over surfaces touched by an infected person. Caregivers who take care of children who have adenovirus may become infected themselves. The infection can live on food, especially moist food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a person ingests liquids or consumes food that has been handled by a person suffering from adenovirus, they can easily transfer the infection to their digestive system. Once in the stomach, adenovirus will begin to irritate the stomach lining and the walls of the intestine. This irritation may cause diarrhea, vomiting and other gastric or intestinal complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-8 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Ringing-or-Buzzing-in-the-ear.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2625\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Ringing-or-Buzzing-in-the-ear.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/8-bizarre-signs-of-a-concussion\/ringing-or-buzzing-in-the-ear\/\" class=\"wp-image-2625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Ringing-or-Buzzing-in-the-ear.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Ringing-or-Buzzing-in-the-ear-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Ear pain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children frequently complain of ear pain during any childhood illness. Because ear pain is such a common symptom of childhood ailments it may be difficult to understand if it has been caused by adenovirus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When adenovirus attacks the mucous membranes and other bodily systems it can cause fevers, congestion, earaches and many other side effects. Ear pain is often mistaken for an ear infection which would normally be treated with antibiotics. <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-94-011-0459-3_20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ear <\/a>pain from adenovirus will not respond to antibiotics and will clean on its own within two to three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should avoid using earbuds to scratch or clean the ears when their child has adenovirus as it can further irritate the ear canal and lead to further discomfort. Adults may also suffer from ear pain if they contract adenovirus. The same suggestions for treatment apply to adults as they do children. Fever is often paired with ear pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/increase-urination_new.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5086\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/increase-urination_new.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/increase-urination_new-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11.

These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/infectioncontrol\/spread\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">infections <\/a>may result in pain, frequent urination, burning, or blood in the urine. It is also common for adenovirus to trigger the development of hemorrhagic cystitis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is diagnosed when a person presents with the complaint of blood in their urine. In normal cases hemorrhagic cystitis will self resolve on its own or when the adenovirus infection clears. Children and adults who have a strong immune system are able to fight off the virus in the space of two to three days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Easing the symptoms, increasing water consumption and getting plenty of rest is the best treatment for genitourinary infections and urinary infections. Avoid the use of antibiotics because they will not be effective in treating viruses. People who have weakened systems, immunodeficiencies, and transplants may have a harder time fighting off an adenovirus infection. Seek medical attention in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-9 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mode-swing_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2979\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mode-swing_2.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/20-ptsd-symptoms-we-rarely-talk-about\/mode-swing_2\/\" class=\"wp-image-2979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mode-swing_2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/mode-swing_2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.

Headache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An adenovirus infection can target several systems in the body which may result in headaches or migraines. <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-642-55061-4_35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Headaches <\/a>are also common in those who are ill and as a normal occurrence which can make linking them to adenovirus difficult at times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adenoviruses are a family of common viruses that are responsible for a wide range of conditions. They often will cause headaches, body aches, sore throat, and other cold-like symptoms. A headache alone is not enough to diagnose an adenovirus infection, but when paired with other symptoms it is easier to pinpoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although children are the most commonly affected by adenovirus infection, it can strike at any age. Adults are more likely to suffer from headaches when suffering from an adenovirus infection than children. People who have weak immune systems, are on certain medications, or who have the cardiac disease are also more susceptible to contracting an adenovirus infection and headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Spasms.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1620\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Spasms.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/8-tetanus-symptoms-to-prevent-the-infection-in-time\/spasms\/\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Spasms.jpg 500w, https:\/\/veryhealthy.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Spasms-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Stiff Neck<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/cancer\/headneck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stiff neck<\/a> can be caused by sleeping improperly, stress, and of course, an adenovirus infection. Most of the adenoviral symptoms are shared with other conditions and are also commonly associated with other medical causes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A stiff neck is caused by the various ailments that result from an adenoviral infection such as fever, cold, excessive cough and so on. In most cases, stiff neck caused by adenoviral infections will clear up on its own as the condition clears from the body after a week or so. In the event that it doesn\u2019t clear, medical attention is advised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact a medical professional if the fever lasts more than three days or if the adenoviral infection symptoms worsen after seven days. The adenovirus causes congestion, but if shortness of breath and breathing problems persist, medical attention is advised. Swelling, redness and cognitive complications to deteriorate after a week are also causes for some concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n\r\n<div id=\"adx_native_ad_110429\"><\/div><script type=\"text\/javascript\">(function() {var qk= tap_setup_cookie.getCookie(\"tapckie\");\r\nvar a=\"\",b=[\"aid=110429\", \"adx_custom=fid:\"+qk];for (var c=0;c<b.length;++c){a+=b[c]+\"&\";}a+=\"r=\"+Math.random()*1e16+\"&url=\"+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href);var x=\"https:\/\/content.tapnative.com\/tn\/?\"+a;var y=document.createElement(\"script\");y.type=\"text\/javascript\";y.async=true;y.src=x;var z=document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];z.parentNode.insertBefore(y, z);})();<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adenovirus shares symptoms with many common ailments which makes spotting its signs in advance a bit difficult.
