How to prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection?

The symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus infection are mainly manifested as nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, sputum production, fever, etc.; RSV is transmitted through droplets and close contact, and infants and young children and the elderly are vulnerable to infection. Respiratory syncytial virus is the most common viral pathogen in our children, the most important manifestation in infants and young children, although it is lower respiratory tract infection bronchitis pneumonia, but in the elderly children the most important is the upper respiratory tract infection, that is, the common cold.

In northern regions, respiratory syncytial virus is generally more common in winter and spring. Over the past three years, infection rates have been low as the public has maintained good hygiene practices of wearing masks and washing hands frequently. This year, due to the increase in public activities, the infection rate of respiratory syncytial virus has also increased, but in this case, it also leads to a decrease in the body's antibodies, and if exposed to this pathogen, it is prone to infection.

How to distinguish between influenza, coronavirus and syncytial virus?

If there is no person infected with the new coronavirus at home, and the child suddenly develops symptoms such as fever and cough, respiratory syncytial virus infection is more likely. The symptoms of influenza virus infection are relatively severe, mainly high fever, often with symptoms such as body aches, nausea and vomiting, while the typical symptoms of syncytial virus infection are cough, wheezing, etc. RSV infection is a self-limited disease that generally requires only conventional antiviral drugs and cough and phlegm suppressants, and most of the symptoms disappear within 1 to 2 weeks. After infection with respiratory syncytial virus, immunity generally only lasts for a few months, so the child has been infected in the previous year and may be reinfected the next year. To prevent respiratory syncytial virus infection, it is first necessary to develop good hygiene habits, maintain appropriate social distancing, and do a good job of protection.
