How is RSV treated?
RSV treatment is almost always nothing more than symptomatic and fluid replacement. If the patient becomes really severely infected and develops respiratory failure, then they go into the hospital. They will be given respiratory treatments. They may even be incubated, placed on an incubator, if it’s really severe. There are ways of making sure that they don’t advance and develop severe problems like dehydration, with rest and with IV fluids. But mainly, it’s a symptomatic approach.
