RSV Testing & Evaluation for Children and Adults

At EZMED, we offer RSV testing and clinical evaluation to help you get answers quickly and ensure proper care.

What Is RSV?

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.

Common Symptoms of RSV

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.

Why RSV Testing Matters

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.

When to Seek Care for RSV Symptoms

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.

No Need to Go Straight to the ER or Specialist

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
