Can monkey pox be treated?

There is currently no safe and proven treatment for monkeypox virus infection. In order to control a monkeypox outbreak in the United States, smallpox vaccine, antivirals, and vaccine immunoglobulin (VIG) may be used. At this time, there are no specific treatments available for monkeypox infection, but outbreaks of monkeypox can be controlled. For the vast majority of people, the signs and symptoms of monkeypox go away on their own, without any treatment.

Rest, plenty of fluids and good nutrition are all that is normally needed. Treatment for monkeypox aims to relieve symptoms. The disease is usually mild and most people recover in 2 to 4 weeks.
