- Abdominal Soreness
Viruses affect the body in a variety of ways, with parvovirus typically causing abdominal pain shortly after the initial infection. Generally, abdominal pain is not severe enough to necessitate a trip to the doctor. The majority of individuals who experience abdominal pain due to parvovirus attribute it to an unrelated cause. Constipation, indigestion, overactivity, or even food that didn’t sit well can cause abdominal discomfort.
The discomfort in the abdomen caused by parvovirus can be temporarily relieved with over-the-counter painkillers, but only until the virus has run its course. The application of heating blankets to the affected area may also reduce pain and relax abdominal muscles. Parvovirus typically causes abdominal discomfort that lasts for several hours at a time. In the event that over-the-counter medications are ineffective, a medical professional can prescribe more intensive treatments.
