How to treat rubella virus positive?
If the test for rubella virus is positive, there are no specific antiviral drugs available. Rubella is a self-limiting disease; most patients can fully recover on their own and it usually does not recur. Generally, most people can fully recover in about two weeks. In terms of treatment and management, it primarily involves addressing any complications. For example, antipyretic and analgesic medications can be used for significant fever. Any other discomfort needs symptomatic treatment. Generally, treatment should be based on the actual condition of the patient. Most patients can fully recover and usually do not need hospital treatment, but it is necessary to ensure proper isolation since the rubella virus can be transmitted to others through the air, droplets, or respiratory routes.
