RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)
Services - Illness
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects the respiratory system, especially in young children. It can cause mild cold-like symptoms but may lead to more serious illnesses, such as bronchiolitis or pneumonia, particularly in infants and toddlers. At Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care, we provide expert care for children with RSV, offering evaluations, symptom management, and support to ensure a smooth recovery.
Be seen at Little Spurs for RSV on telemedicine if:
- Your child’s symptoms are mild, such as a runny nose or mild cough.
- You want recommendations for over-the-counter medications to manage symptoms.
- You have questions or concerns about managing your child’s illness at home.
Be seen at Little Spurs in-person for RSV if:
- Your child is showing signs of shortness of breath or struggling to breathe.
- You believe they might need a breathing treatment or prescription medications.
- Your child starts acting very sick, such as becoming lethargic or refusing to eat or drink.
Go to the emergency room for RSV if:
- Your child is having severe difficulty breathing, such as rapid or labored breathing.
- They are unable to eat, drink, or swallow properly due to symptoms.
- They have a history of severe respiratory distress or chronic health conditions that could complicate RSV.
