West Nile Virus doesn’t have a cure because it’s a viral condition, but pain relievers can be taken to relieve the symptoms of West Nile Virus such as headaches and muscle aches.
Most of the people infected with West Nile Virus recover without any special treatment. However, most severe cases require supportive therapy such as pain medications and intravenous fluids to lower the infection.
Research is currently being done on interferon therapy for the West Nile virus. Interferon therapy is aimed at using substances produced by your immune system to treat encephalitis in people infected by the West Nile virus. The research isn’t conclusive about the use of these therapies for encephalitis, but studies are promising.
