Former Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Dr Randeep Guleria has said that only "symptomatic treatment" is required for Human metapneumovirus (HMPV). "Take medicine for fever, keep hydration, and have good nutrition," he said. No specific antiviral drug is there for HMPV and there's no need for antibiotics as it's a viral infection, Dr Guleria said.
