Ang 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘂𝘀 (𝗥𝗦𝗩) ay isang virus na nagdudulot ng sakit sa mga baga at sa daanan ng hangin, tulad ng sipon, ubo, o minsan ay mas malalang kondisyon tulad ng pulmonya.

Karaniwang naaapektuhan nito ang mga sanggol, maliliit na bata, at matatanda, lalo na kung mahina ang resistensya nila. Para itong "𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘱𝘰𝘯" na pwedeng magdulot ng hirap sa paghinga at iba pang sintomas tulad ng lagnat at pagkapagod.

📌 𝘼𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙜𝙖 𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙮:
• Lagnat
• Matinding ubo
• Sore throat
• Sipon
• Wheezing (paghinga nang may sipol)
• Mabilis na paghinga o hirap sa paghinga
• Pagkairita
• Pagkawala ng ganang kumain
• Pagkapagod

💡 𝙐𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙠𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙪𝙨:
✔Laging maghugas ng kamay
✔Panatilihing malinis ang mga gamit at paligid
✔Limitahan ang paglapit at direktang kontak sa mga sanggol

𝗧𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗻: Mas delikado ito sa mga sanggol at matatanda, kaya importanteng mag-ingat! 💡
