Symptoms of Epstein-Barr (EB) virus infection include sore throat, difficulty breathing, dizziness, headache, and cough. Antiviral therapy is typically required; under a physician’s guidance, patients may be prescribed acyclovir or ribavirin granules to control the disease and improve clinical outcomes. During treatment, patients should prioritize rest and ensure adequate sleep.
