As an adult asthmatic how worried do i need to be about the enterovirus d68 that's hit mostly kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some: It seems to be more common in children and teenagers. If an ordinary cold is making you sick see your doctor. Although EV D68 is very unusual in adults there are other viruses that can cause similar symptoms.
