Brief Answer:
Need to know his current symptoms...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am sorry for the health situation your son is in.
1. Common signs of enterovirus include :
- respiratory symptoms: flu-like symptoms, runny nose, sore throat, ear pain, sinus congestion, loss of smell or taste, etc.
- gastro-intestinal symptoms: indigestion?, reflux? diarrhea alternating with constipation? nausea? vomiting? abdominal cramps

2. You can describe all the symptoms your son has for a more specific judgement.
3. Meanwhile, I advise to get checked by a local medical doctor as he has been with sick for around 1 week.
4. You can advise him to:

- take probiotics to normalize intestinal flora
- take painkillers to reduce inflammation, and lower body tempereature.
Hope it helped!
