Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)

Symptoms In most children and adults resemble a bad cold, including a runny nose, sore throat, and cough.

Virtually all children are infected by age 3. Re-infection throughout life is common. RSV is spread by respiratory droplets either directly through the air, or indirectly by hands, tissues, or items put in the mouth (toys, eating utensils, cups, etc.).

If your child is having symptoms of RSV contact your healthcare provider, and please notify us if your child is diagnosed with an RSV infection.

To help prevent respiratory viruses:

• Cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work, and school.
• Stay home if you are sick.
• Keep children home from daycare or school who have fever, especially with a cough, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, congestion, runny nose, or sore throat, until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medications that reduce fever.
• Contact your pediatrician or healthcare provider if you believe your child needs medical care. Your provider can offer advice on whether your child needs to be evaluated in person, tested for COVID or flu, and the best location (doctor's office, urgent care, emergency room) for care.



Please let me know if I can help you in any way with your family’s health.
