Rhinovirus is making its rounds and it’s more than “just a cold.” 🤧
Rhinovirus is the most common cause of the common cold, but for some individuals it can hit much harder.
Common signs & symptoms include:
• Runny or congested nose
• Sore throat
• Cough
• Sneezing
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Low-grade fever
While most healthy adults recover in a few days, rhinovirus can be more severe for:
• Young children
• Older adults
• Individuals with asthma or COPD
• Anyone with a weakened immune system
In these cases, it can trigger asthma flare-ups, bronchitis, sinus infections, or even pneumonia.
