【👶 Baby Health Info 👶 | Guard Against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)!】Gentle reminder from Paediatric & Adolescent Centre
It’s natural for parents to feel anxious and restless when their babies are unwell and have a fever. Many lose sleep and worry deeply about their little ones. 😔
If your baby contracts Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), it can be truly heartbreaking and leave you feeling helpless. 😭😭
🌟 Important Reminder: Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) 🌟
RSV is a common virus that can worsen rapidly, leading to severe respiratory illnesses, especially in infants and young children. It may cause serious respiratory infections that require hospitalization or even intensive care. The risk of hospitalization due to RSV is about 16 times higher than that of influenza, making it a leading cause of bronchitis and pneumonia in infants.
Recognize RSV Symptoms:
😵💫 Fever, cough, runny nose
😵💫 Headache, difficulty breathing
😵💫 Decreased appetite, otitis media
Preventive Measures:
👉Maintain good environmental and personal hand hygiene.
👉Wear masks to prevent spreading.
👉Regularly disinfect frequently-touched surfaces
