RSV When It's More Than Just A Cold - RSV In Children

When is RSV more than just a cold — and how serious is RSV in children?

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common viral infection, but in infants and young children it can lead to bronchiolitis or pneumonia. In this episode, we explain how RSV presents in children, which symptoms require urgent assessment, and current clinical guidance in Europe.

You’ll learn:

• What RSV is and how it spreads through respiratory droplets and close contact

• Early symptoms: runny nose, cough, mild fever, reduced appetite

• Signs of bronchiolitis: wheezing, rapid breathing, chest retractions, feeding difficulty

• Which children are at higher risk, including premature infants and those with heart or lung conditions

• When hospital assessment may be necessary due to dehydration or breathing distress

• Supportive treatment approaches and why antibiotics are not routinely indicated

• When preventive options or vaccination strategies may be discussed based on age and risk profile

We also clarify how RSV differs from influenza and COVID-19 in children.

This episode complements our full clinical guide:
