๐ฉบ Know the Symptoms: RSV
RSV, or Respiratory Syncytial Virus, is a common virus that can affect people of all ages, but it can be especially serious for babies and young children.
Knowing what to look for can help you get the right care when your child needs it most.
Common symptoms include:
๐ก๏ธ Fever
๐คง Runny nose
๐ท Cough
๐ฎโ๐จ Wheezing
๐ผ Poor feeding
๐ Difficulty breathing
Most children recover with rest, fluids, and supportive care. However, if your child is struggling to breathe, is not drinking enough fluids, or their symptoms are getting worse, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Early recognition can make all the difference.
Follow our Know the Symptoms series each week as we help parents recognise common childhood illnesses and know when it is time to seek care.
