Symptoms
People infected with RSV usually show symptoms within 4 to 6 days after getting infected. Symptoms of RSV infection usually include-
Runny nose
Decrease in appetite
Coughing
Sneezing
Fever
Wheezing
Care
"Most RSV infections go away on their own in a week or two."
An ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure.
Eat right, eat citrus fruits with high vitamin C content.
Supplement with vitamin D and Zinc if need be.
I eat raw garlic and ginger if I feel a cold coming on.
No problemo.
Yes, I'm continuing to wear masks when appropriate and will definitely wear my mask on the plane both ways to visit family next month. I don't want to pick up anything I could pass on to my grand children. Being pretty much secluded last year, they likely haven't built up the immunities to RSV they might have in normal times. I reserve my snuggles and hugs for family only - so hopefully I'm safe for them to be around when I visit. I am vaxxed to the max including with the pneumonia vaccine, so I'm hoping I'll return from my trip healthy.
