  1. RSV: UNMASKING THE SNEAKY SEASONAL VIRUS

  2. WHAT IS RSV? Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects the lungs and respiratory tract. Most toddlers are infected with the virus by the age of two. Adults are also susceptible to respiratory syncytial virus infection. Respiratory syncytial virus symptoms in adults and older, healthy children are often mild and similar to the common cold.

  3. SYMPTOMS OF RSV The signs and symptoms of RSV often develop four to six days after infection. RSV typically causes cold-like symptoms in adults and older children. These may include: Congested or runny nose Low-grade fever Sneezing Sore throat Headache Dry cough

  4. CAUSES OF RSV Respiratory syncytial virus enters the body via the eyes, nose, or mouth. It can easily be transmitted through the air by contaminated respiratory droplets. If someone who has RSV coughs or sneezes near you, you or your kid may become infected. The infection can also spread to others by physical touch, such as shaking hands. This virus can survive for hours on surfaces, including worktops, crib rails, and toys. Handling your mouth, nose, or eyes after handling a contaminated object increases your chances of contracting the virus. An infected person is most contagious within the first week or so of infection. However, in infants and those with poor immunity, the virus can continue to spread for about four weeks after symptoms resolve.
