10 Adenovirus Symptoms
Symptom #7: Cough
A cough is a repetitive and sudden protective reflex which helps to clear the airways from microbes, foreign particles, fluids, and more. Frequent coughing usually indicates that there is an underlying disease.
Through evolution, many pathogens have caused the host to cough to help spread disease to new hosts. Coughing can be caused by a respiratory tract infection, lung tumors, post nasal drip, asthma, bronchitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, side effect of medications, and more. The treatment for a cough would depend on the underlying cause. In this case, an adenovirus infection can cause upper and lower respiratory tract infections resulting in cough.
