At EZMED, we offer RSV testing and clinical evaluation to help you get answers quickly and ensure proper care.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a highly contagious virus that infects the respiratory tract. While RSV often causes mild, cold-like symptoms, it can become more serious in:
Infants and young children
Premature babies
Older adults
Individuals with asthma, heart disease, lung disease, or weakened immune systems
RSV is a leading cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants.
RSV symptoms can vary by age and severity. Common symptoms include:
Runny nose or nasal congestion
Cough
Fever
Wheezing or noisy breathing
Rapid or labored breathing
Decreased appetite
Irritability or lethargy (especially in infants)
In young babies, symptoms may be subtle and include poor feeding or pauses in breathing.
RSV symptoms can look very similar to flu, COVID-19, or other viral infections. Testing helps:
Identify RSV accurately
Guide appropriate treatment and monitoring
Avoid unnecessary antibiotics
Determine when higher-level care may be needed
At EZMED, we offer rapid RSV testing as part of a thorough clinical evaluation.
You should seek medical care if:
Your child has trouble breathing or wheezing
Symptoms worsen instead of improving
Fever persists or is high
Your child is not eating or drinking well
An infant appears unusually sleepy or irritable
Early evaluation can help prevent complications.
Many RSV cases can be evaluated and managed in an urgent care or primary care setting.
At EZMED, we can:
Perform RSV testing
Assess breathing and oxygen status
Provide guidance on supportive care
Refer to emergency or specialty care when necessary
At EZMED, we provide RSV testing and evaluation for infants, children, and adults in a caring and efficient environment.
