So, pneumonia is actually a different disease, but it is so common in the context of RSV infection that it is also a symptom of RSV infection. RSV often leads to inflammation of the tiny air sacs (called alveoli) in the lungs for many patients with the virus. Both bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants are more common with lower respiratory tract involvement. Pneumonia can actually be seen when some of these symptoms overlap with each other.
The onset of fever, wet cough, difficulty breathing, and chest pain may be signs of pneumonic progress. The course can be severe for these patients, so they must receive appropriate medical care. A chest X-ray can reveal pneumonia, and the doctor can then confirm it. Based on the patient’s condition, suitable treatment is designed to reduce all chances of pneumonia-related complications.
