Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common virus that affects the lungs and respiratory tract. While RSV often causes mild, cold-like symptoms, it can sometimes lead to more serious illness- especially in infants, young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. At AFC Urgent Care US Route 1-9, we provide rapid RSV testing and same-day care to help patients quickly identify the cause of their symptoms. Our medical team is available to test, diagnose, and treat RSV for patients of all ages.
For same-day RSV testing and treatment, visit the walk-in clinic at AFC Urgent Care US Route 1-9. Our center is conveniently located at 111-117 Spring St. in Elizabeth, NJ. We’re open 7 days a week and never require appointments. To plan your visit in advance, check-in below!
RSV spreads easily through coughing, sneezing, or close contact with infected individuals. Most people recover within a week or two, but for some, RSV can develop into bronchitis or pneumonia and may require medical attention.
Symptoms can vary based on age and health, but often include:
In infants and older adults, RSV can sometimes cause more serious respiratory distress. If you or your child is having trouble breathing, wheezing, or showing severe, life-threatening symptoms, seek care at the ER immediately.
When you visit AFC Urgent Care US Route 1-9, our experienced providers will evaluate your symptoms and determine if RSV testing is needed. We offer rapid RSV tests, which detect the virus from a quick sample. Results are typically available the same day, allowing our team to confirm the diagnosis and create a treatment plan right away.
Because RSV symptoms overlap with other respiratory illnesses (such as the flu, COVID-19, and the common cold) testing helps ensure you get the right care for your specific condition. We can also perform combination respiratory panel testing to rule out other infections during the same visit.
There is currently no specific antiviral treatment for RSV, but supportive care can help manage symptoms and speed recovery. Our providers may recommend:
