Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is generally not considered dangerous and can be managed through awareness and preventive measures. While it causes mild cold-like symptoms, such as cough, fever, and nasal congestion, it can lead to severe illness in vulnerable individuals, including the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. Experts emphasize that HMPV infections are typically not serious for most healthy individuals. Preventive measures like regular handwashing, wearing masks, and maintaining good hygiene can help reduce its spread. Awareness, hydration, and nutrition play key roles in controlling the virus, and antibiotics are not required for treatment.
