==Overview==
Because this [[illness]] is not caused by [[bacteria]], [[antibiotics]] do not help treat West Nile virus [[infection]]. At this time, there are no FDA-approved [[shots]] or [[medicines]] to stop or treat West Nile Virus infection. Most people with mild [[symptoms]] get better without any treatment. Use of over-the-counter [[pain]] relievers may assist during this period of infection. People with severe West Nile Virus infections may need to go to the hospital. Severe cases of West Nile Virus may be treated with [[intravenous fluids]] and [[prophylactic]] care to prevent the onset of other infections, like [[pneumonia]].
