Conditions that increase the likelihood of severe disease include:</p> <ul> <li>Heart disease</li> <li>Lung disease</li> <li>Kidney or liver disorders</li> <li>Neurologic or neuromuscular conditions</li> <li>Blood disorders</li> <li>Diabetes</li> <li>Immunocompromise</li> <li>Advanced age (ages 75 years or older)</li> <li>Frailty</li> <li>Living in a long-term care facility.</li> </ul> <p>The CDC website has more information about <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/older-adults/" target="_blank" title="RSV in Older Adults">adults at highest risk for severe RSV</a>. The RSV vaccine reduces the risk of lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia.<b> If you have one of the above conditions, you are more likely to benefit from the vaccine.</b></p> <p>Healthy people ages 60-74 with none of those conditions listed may be less likely to benefit from this vaccine as they are at lower risk for severe RSV infection.</p> <p>Side effects of the vaccine can include injection site pain, tiredness, muscle aches, and headache. More serious side effects are rare. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/vaccines/older-adults.html#cdc_vaccine_recommendations_who_should-what-are-the-possible-side-effects" target="_blank" title="Side effects in older adults">See the CDC website for more information</a>.</p> <p>It is important for you to consider the benefits of vaccination and the side effects. <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/vaccines/" target="_blank" title="RSV Vaccines">Read more information about the RSV vaccine</a>.</p> <p>If you have more questions, please discuss them with your provider at your next visit.

Symptoms usually appear in stages and not all at once. In very young infants with RSV, the only symptoms may be irritability, decreased activity and breathing difficulties.&nbsp;</p>\r\n<h4>Mild symptoms – Supportive care at home</h4>\r\n<h5>What are mild symptoms?</h5>\r\n<p>Mild symptoms include a runny nose, coughing, sneezing, mild congestion, and low-grade fever. Low-grade fevers are:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Babies under 3 months:</b>&nbsp;anything between 99°F (37.2°C) and 100.4°F (38°C)</li>\r\n<li><b>Everyone else:</b>&nbsp;anything between 100.4°F (38°C) and 102.4°F (39°C)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>You or your child may have decreased appetite but taking enough fluids. You can tell if your child is taking in enough fluids by how often they urinate. In babies and toddlers, this means a wet diaper at least every 8 hours. For children ages 3 years and older, as well as adults, this means urinating at least once every 10 hours.</p>\r\n<h5>What do I if my child or I have mild symptoms?</h5>\r\n<p>Rest, drink plenty of fluids and monitor symptoms. In most cases, you or your child should start feeling better within a few days.</p>\r\n<h5>Do my child or I need to be tested for RSV or other viruses?</h5>\r\n<p>There are many respiratory viruses that can cause cold-like symptoms. Most cases of RSV and other viruses go away on their own in 1-2 weeks. Since the symptoms of RSV and other respiratory viruses are similar to COVID-19, you or your child can test for COVID-19 at home. If your child tests positive for COVID-19, follow the&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0301-respiratory-virus.html\" target=\"_blank\">CDC isolation guidelines</a>. If you or your child has mild symptoms, it is not necessary to test for other viruses.</p>\r\n<h4>Moderate symptoms&nbsp;– Call your care team</h4>\r\n<h5>Children</h5>\r\n<p>Call your child’s care team if your child shows any of the following symptoms:</p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Fever:<ul>\r\n<li>In babies under 3 months: Temperature over 100.4°F (38°C)</li>\r\n<li>In babies over 3 months and older children: Temperature over 105°F (40.5°C), temperature over 102.4°F (39°C) that does not respond to fever-reducing medication, or fever that lasts for more than 3 days</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n<li>Increased work of breathing.

Symptoms usually appear in stages and not all at once. In very young infants with RSV, the only symptoms may be irritability, decreased activity and breathing difficulties. </p> <h4>Mild symptoms – Supportive care at home</h4> <h5>What are mild symptoms?</h5> <p>Mild symptoms include a runny nose, coughing, sneezing, mild congestion, and low-grade fever. Low-grade fevers are:</p> <ul> <li><b>Babies under 3 months:</b> anything between 99°F (37.2°C) and 100.4°F (38°C)</li> <li><b>Everyone else:</b> anything between 100.4°F (38°C) and 102.4°F (39°C)</li> </ul> <p>You or your child may have decreased appetite but taking enough fluids. You can tell if your child is taking in enough fluids by how often they urinate. In babies and toddlers, this means a wet diaper at least every 8 hours. For children ages 3 years and older, as well as adults, this means urinating at least once every 10 hours.</p> <h5>What do I if my child or I have mild symptoms?</h5> <p>Rest, drink plenty of fluids and monitor symptoms. In most cases, you or your child should start feeling better within a few days.</p> <h5>Do my child or I need to be tested for RSV or other viruses?</h5> <p>There are many respiratory viruses that can cause cold-like symptoms. Most cases of RSV and other viruses go away on their own in 1-2 weeks. Since the symptoms of RSV and other respiratory viruses are similar to COVID-19, you or your child can test for COVID-19 at home. If your child tests positive for COVID-19, follow the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0301-respiratory-virus.html" target="_blank">CDC isolation guidelines</a>. If you or your child has mild symptoms, it is not necessary to test for other viruses.</p> <h4>Moderate symptoms – Call your care team</h4> <h5>Children</h5> <p>Call your child’s care team if your child shows any of the following symptoms:</p> <ul> <li>Fever:<ul> <li>In babies under 3 months: Temperature over 100.4°F (38°C)</li> <li>In babies over 3 months and older children: Temperature over 105°F (40.5°C), temperature over 102.4°F (39°C) that does not respond to fever-reducing medication, or fever that lasts for more than 3 days</li> </ul> </li> <li>Increased work of breathing. This includes short, shallow, and unusually fast breathing or caving in of the space between the ribs, or nostrils spread out with every breath.</li> <li>Wheezing (a whistling noise when breathing)</li> <li>Not taking fluids and/or decreased urination. For babies, this means not having a wet diaper for 8 hours. In children ages 3 years or older, no urine output in 10 hours.</li> <li>Excessive tiredness or sleeping excessively</li> <li>Ear pain or severe sore throat</li> <li>Develops a rash covering much of the body</li> </ul> <h5>Adults</h5> <p>Call your primary care physician if you develop any of the following symptoms:</p> <ul> <li>High fever – a fever over 102.4°F (39°C)</li> <li>Severe cough</li> <li>Shortness of breath</li> <li>Wheezing (a whistling noise when breathing)</li> </ul> <h4>Severe symptoms – Emergency  </h4> <p>Go to the Emergency Department if you or your child is having severe symptoms, such as:</p> <ul> <li>Difficulty breathing</li> <li>Pauses in breathing for 20 seconds or more</li> <li>Inability to wake or stay awake </li> <li>Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="title aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div data-cmp-data-layer="{"treatment":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/title","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-28T20:22:52Z","dc:title":"Treatment"}}" id="treatment" class="cmp-title"> <h2 class="cmp-title__text">Treatment</h2> </div> </div> <div class="accordion panelcontainer aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="accordion-0eaba4de62" class="cmp-accordion" data-cmp-is="accordion" data-cmp-data-layer="{"accordion-0eaba4de62":{"shownItems":[],"@type":"core/wcm/components/accordion/v1/accordion","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-28T20:22:52Z"}}" data-placeholder-text="false"> <div class="cmp-accordion__item" data-cmp-hook-accordion="item" data-cmp-data-layer="{"accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/accordion/item","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-28T20:22:52Z","dc:title":"Are there treatments for RSV?"}}" id="accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c"> <h3 class="cmp-accordion__header"> <button id="accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c-button" class="cmp-accordion__button" aria-controls="accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c-panel" data-cmp-hook-accordion="button"> <span class="cmp-accordion__title">Are there treatments for RSV?</span> <span class="cmp-accordion__icon"></span> </button> </h3> <div data-cmp-hook-accordion="panel" id="accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c-panel" class="cmp-accordion__panel cmp-accordion__panel--hidden" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-0eaba4de62-item-25ab44d87c-button"><div class="text"> <div data-cmp-data-layer="{"text-25ab44d87c":{"@type":"aem-mgb/components/text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-28T20:22:52Z","xdm:text":"<p>There are no RSV-specific medications for treatment.
