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, a trusted kids urgent care provider, we offer expert care for children with RSV, offering evaluations, symptom management, and support to ensure a smooth recovery.

- 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.
