RSV Symptoms Diagnosed at AFC US Route 1-9
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:
- Persistent cough or congestion
- Sneezing and runny nose
- Fever or body aches
- Wheezing or shortness of breath
- Fatigue and loss of appetite
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.
RSV Testing Available in Elizabeth, NJ
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.
Treatment and Care After an RSV Diagnosis
There is currently no specific antiviral treatment for RSV, but supportive care can help manage symptoms and
speed
recovery. Our providers may recommend:
- Rest and increased fluid intake
- Over-the-counter fever or pain relievers
- Humidifiers or steam to ease congestion
- Prescription medications if symptoms worsen or lead to secondary infection
