- Klepus
- Sāpošs kakls

Kas ir respiratorais sincitiālais vīruss (RSV)?
RSV is also a contagious respiratory virus. It usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but it can sometimes be serious. Most people who get RSV will feel better in a week or two.
RSV is very common. Most children will get RSV by their second birthday.
RSV symptoms usually show up within four to six days of getting infected. RSV symptoms usually are:
- Iesnas
- Lower appetite than usual
- Klepošana
- Šķaudīšana
- Drudzis
- Sēkšana
Symptoms don’t usually appear all at once. Very young children with RSV may only have symptoms of:
- uzbudināmība
- Lower activity than usual
- Elpošanas problēmas
Call your doctor if you or your child:
- Ir apgrūtināta elpošana.
- Cannot drink enough fluids.
- Have symptoms that are getting worse.
Most RSV infections will go away on their own in a week or two. But some people are more likely to get very sick from RSV. This includes adults age 60 and older, pregnant people, and young children.
