What Is RSV?
RSV is a highly contagious respiratory illness. Although anyone can develop RSV, the virus most commonly affects infants and young children, causing them to experience:
- Shallow, rapid breathing
- Difficulty breathing
- Coughing
- Irritability
- Lethargy
- Poor feeding
If an older child or an adult contracts RSV, they might experience a low-grade fever, congestion, sneezing, a runny nose, a sore throat, a dry cough, and a headache. Especially severe cases could cause rapid breathing, difficulty breathing, severe coughing, wheezing, and blue-tinged skin.
Don’t Wait to Get Your RSV Test
As was noted above, RSV is highly contagious—it can be spread by breathing in airborne droplets, having close contact with a sick person, or touching a contaminated surface, and certain people can continue spreading the virus for up to four weeks. So, if there’s a chance that you or your child could have RSV, it’s important that you get tested as soon as possible so that you can take any necessary precautions.
Visit Cape Regional Urgent Care’s Cape May Court House, NJ, office today, and our knowledgeable team will evaluate your condition and administer an RSV test, if appropriate. And if RSV testing reveals that you do have the virus, we’ll supply you with customized treatment recommendations.
