Bangkok Hospital Udon

RSV virus is commonly found during the rainy season. Symptoms may look like a common cold but are far more severe. This virus can cause serious pneumonia and may even be fatal, especially in infants.

High-risk groups

  • Premature infants
  • Infants under 6 months old
  • Children under 2 years with chronic lung disease or heart disease
  • Children with weakened or abnormal immune systems
  • Children with neuromuscular disorders
  • Elderly people over 65 years (grandparents caring for children should be extra cautious)

Parents should carefully monitor their children’s health to prevent complications and ensure strong protection.
