The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. It usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms, but can be serious, especially for infants and older adults. RSV is highly contagious and spreads easily through coughing and sneezing. To prevent RSV infection, good hygiene practices like washing hands frequently and avoiding close contact with sick individuals are recommended. There is no specific antiviral treatment for RSV, but symptoms can be managed with supportive care such as fluid intake and breathing support. Regular hand washing and maintaining a clean environment can help prevent the spread of RSV.
