And may cause infectious pneumonia Especially young children will have pneumonia, cough, rapid breathing, gasping for breath easily. And there may be a wheezing noise, some "wheezing" can be very severe, including respiratory failure. In which the group is at risk of severe symptoms is Young children under the age of 2 because the upper respiratory tract from the nose to the lungs is very short. Thus causing the virus to travel very quickly, sure enough

How to spot the common cold & RSV virus
A child infected with RSV often has the same initial symptoms of the flu: fever, cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, but some things parents can notice that their baby may have RSV infection include the following:
- have a high fever
- Coughing a lot, lots of phlegm and thick sticky.
- gasping for breath, breathing force, chest dent

Your doctor will spray a bronchodilator, knock on the lungs, as well as a lung X-ray for cases of suspected pneumonia. The detection of this infection is not difficult. Where the doctor will bring the infection from the nose or throat Send it to check for RSV virus, similar to what was done in influenza.

RSV treatment
There is currently no antibiotic used to treat RSV, especially for the treatment of RSV infection, so it must be treated according to the symptoms of illness, such as antipyretic, cough syrup, sputum dissolving. Give medicine to reduce mucus In young children or children with severe symptoms, they may need to go to hospital, give saline solution, a bronchodilator, a sputum diluent, knock on the lungs, and may need to be suctioned. Or, if the symptoms are very severe, they will need oxygen or a breathing device. If the child has mild symptoms, he or she can return to home treatment by taking antipyretic medication, mucus dissolving medication, and drinking plenty of water and rest. And finally, the virus will be able to get rid of it on its own. Children who have been infected with RSV can be repeated many times. But the symptoms will be less than the first time
