This case is another example. My father has a chronic allergic rhinitis. I haven’t had symptoms for a long time. Suddenly I have a lot of clear mucus. allergy-like symptoms So I think it’s okay. But his wife forced him to come for a checkup. because of her husband’s condition It’s more than it was in the past. Also need to take care of a 1 month old baby.
The test results are as shown in the picture. A strong RSV infection was found in less than 5 minutes. Now I come to see if my 1 month old baby will be able to pass this period or not. During this epidemic If you have a runny nose, cough, sore throat, no matter what should wear a mask Use hand sanitiser often, especially if you have to touch young children. Avoid putting your hands, touching your face, or picking your nose, as you may be the one who spread the infection to young children. which is likely to be RSV and the symptoms can be severe
in the elderly Especially those over 60 years old, must be careful if infected with RSV may have severe symptoms. Until you enter the ICU, it’s not different from young children. The doctor himself had seen it before.
P.S. I’m not suggesting that All adults need to be tested for RSV if they have cold symptoms. just want to lift this case as a case study And I want everyone to not be underestimated at all.
