Can babies give RSV to adults?

It’s so common that most children have been infected with the virus by age 2. Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-ul) virus can also infect adults. In adults and older, healthy children, RSV symptoms are mild and typically mimic the common cold. Self-care measures are usually all that’s needed to relieve any discomfort.

How long is flu and RSV season?

Is RSV worse than influenza?

Study results suggest flu may cause more severe illness than RSV in older adults. That’s based on two key points: People with RSV delayed seeking treatment after the onset of illness more than patients with flu. Fewer RSV patients were hospitalized within 30 days compared to those with flu.

How long does it take for RSV to go away?

It takes between two to eight days from the time a person is exposed to the RSV to show symptoms. Symptoms generally last three to seven days. Most children and adults recover fully in one to two weeks.

Is Tamiflu effective against RSV?

Tamiflu does not treat other flu-like viral infections, such as the stomach flu, colds, or RSV (respiratory syncytial virus).

Is Tamiflu effective after 48 hours?

Most studies suggest that oseltamivir is most effective if initiated <48 hours after illness onset; early treatment mitigates severity and reduces illness duration by 1–3 days [1–5]. Drug delivery logistics will be challenging during a pandemic; initiating treatment <48 hours may not be possible.

What is Tamiflu used to treat?

Tamiflu is used to treat people 2 weeks of age and older who have the flu (influenza A and B viruses). Tamiflu is also sometimes used for prevention (prophylaxis) of the flu in people 1 year of age and older, but it is not a substitute for getting the flu vaccine.
