A member asked:

I think i have the enterovirus because i have a cold in the summer. is this likely the case?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not enterovirus: Enteroviruses usually cause diarrhea or other intestinal complaints. Other classes of viruses like rhinovirus and adenovirus cause respiratory complaints in the summer.
