00:00At the same time as the cold season, the flu season has started.

00:04And recently, the number of children affected by the so-called Respiratory Syndicial Virus, or RSV, has increased.

00:15This is the major cause of respiratory illness in children and highly contagious.

00:21That's true, Neji. A lot of mommies have already raised awareness on social media about this.

00:27So, to answer some of our countrymen's questions about this, especially mommies,

00:32we have Dr. Cynthia Quayo-Wico, a pediatrician.

00:37Dr. Cynthia, good morning. This is Prof. Fee, together with Neji. Good morning.

00:43Good morning.

00:46Thank you, sir.

00:48Alright, Doc. We want to know, what is this Respiratory Syndicial Virus, or RSV?

00:54How is it different from other respiratory infections, like measles or measles?

01:01Because they can only identify what virus it is.

01:04In measles, fever, measles, and measles, it's usually a virus.

01:11But sometimes, we can identify the Respiratory Syndicial Virus

01:16because sometimes, there's a chance that in the whole school,

01:22in the children, they have measles, measles, and measles.

01:25And in children who are small, the symptoms of this disease are more severe.

01:31Doc, speaking of symptoms, what are the common symptoms or manifestations of RSV?

01:39Or how can it be treated, especially in children?

01:44Usually, it comes from the school, the nursery, the kindergarten,

01:53or when you have elderly people who go to your house and have measles.

01:58Then, in 2-3 days, 4 days, your child already has measles, has a fever,

02:04and their measles and fever are a bit severe.

02:07Measles is when your nose is bleeding, it's itching, and then you have a fever, a high fever.

02:16Even if it's a viral infection, they also lose their appetite, and they also lose their appetite to eat.

02:22So that's why some people post, they say, who hasn't experienced it?

02:27Has everyone had measles or measles?

02:29Doc, is this related to RSV? Because it seems like it happened suddenly.

02:34And we also want to know, how does this spread?

02:37Is there a particular person or group that has a higher chance of contracting this?

02:42Although you mentioned, it's the children and the elderly.

02:45Go ahead, Doc.

02:48Because when we have measles, it comes from...

02:52Sometimes, when you have measles, it's not just that we cover ourselves,

02:57of course, sometimes it's an accident.

02:58So you have to...

02:59And when you have measles, you have to wash your hands.

03:03Because when you put your hands on the table,

03:07you hold a book, you hold a phone, you hold a glass,

03:13and when you touch that glass, it's contagious.

03:19So when you have measles, you have to have a ready cloth that you can hide right away

03:27without using a tissue or tissue paper.

03:29So when you have measles, you have to wash your hands.

03:33If you don't wash your hands with soap and water, use alcohol.

03:37Use alcohol.

03:38That's why it's right for people to carry alcohol in their bags or their pockets

03:43when they have measles or measles.

03:45Sorry to those who eat.

03:49Use alcohol right away.

03:50Alcohol here, alcohol there.

03:52It's like washing your hands.

03:54Because to get rid of the virus in your hands,

03:57when you touch the glass, your table, your lapis, etc.,

04:02when you touch your hands, it's contagious.

04:05It's very fast.

04:06Especially for those who have low resistance,

04:08especially for young children, especially for the elderly.

04:13Yes.

04:14It's very timely, Doc.

04:15Because it's the holiday season, there are a lot of reunions.

04:18When you sneeze and you kiss,

04:21you hug your friends whom you haven't seen for a long time.

04:25But Doc, is it true that a baby can get infected or have RSV

04:32if you kiss?

04:34Especially if you kiss a bird or an owl.

04:38Of course.

04:39That's why for me, it's a lesson learned.

04:41Babies are not really kissed.

04:44If you want to kiss a baby,

04:47you have to kiss it on the feet, not even on the hands.

04:50Because the hands are being kissed by the baby.

04:53If you kiss it, your saliva will be there,

04:55your breath will be there.

04:57So it means that the baby might get infected.

05:00Never, never.

05:01New mothers,

05:03never, never kiss a baby.

05:05Even if your children are 2 years and below,

05:08or even if they're 5 years old,

05:10kissing is prohibited.

05:12Because the aunts still want to kiss the mouth.

05:16That's a no-no for children.

05:18Or there are others who just want to smell the baby's breath.

05:23It's okay if you just smell and breathe.

05:26If you're sick, right?

05:28I feel guilty, Doc,

05:30when I kiss kids, right?

05:33It should be on the feet,

05:35for safety first,

05:37especially for babies,

05:39even for toddlers up to 5 years old.

05:42And for those who feel like a baby and are called a baby,

05:44don't do that.

05:45But Doc,

05:46is there a correlation between the cold weather

05:49and the increase in the number of cases of RSV?

05:53Is the number of cases higher during this time, Doc?

05:56Tell us more.

05:58Actually, it's not the cold weather,

06:01but the change.

06:03Because when the weather gets cold,

06:05our clothes get thicker,

06:08we don't wear sandals anymore, right?

06:10After that, we double our clothes.

06:12The problem is the change.

06:14In the Philippines,

06:16it's like we're women.

06:18You don't know if you're cold,

06:20if you'll bring a sweater,

06:21or if you're sleeveless,

06:23or if you're strapped.

06:24That's why we need to be ready all the time.

06:28So, yes.

06:29We have jackets.

06:32We only have jackets.

06:35But I feel bad for the jackets you bring.

06:38You don't know what to bring.

06:40The jackets that you brought

06:42are expensive.

06:44That means you have to start.

06:46There's an extra threat.

06:49You'll catch a cold.

06:52You'll sneeze.

06:53If you keep sneezing,

06:55your immune system weakens.

06:59Your immune system weakens.

07:01You'll catch a cold.

07:03You'll catch a cold.

07:06You'll catch a cold.

07:08You'll catch a cold.

07:10You'll catch a cold.

07:12That's noted, Doc.

07:13What's the particular way

07:15to treat RSV?

07:17If you're experiencing this symptom,

07:20what can we do?

07:22First aid or treatments?

07:24Go ahead.

07:27We don't really have a cure

07:30for viral infections.

07:32RSV is a viral infection.

07:34The only thing we can do

07:36is to avoid it.

07:37But if it's already there,

07:39let's say you have a cough.

07:41Even if you don't have RSV

07:43or any viral infection,

07:45all you need to do is

07:47drink a lot of liquids,

07:49water, juice,

07:51hot water,

07:53and that's number one.

07:55Number two,

07:56take a rest.

07:57First of all,

07:59your body needs to rest,

08:01especially for small children.

08:03Let's not let them in

08:05because they might get infected.

08:08For those who are getting older,

08:10don't go out.

08:12Just stay at home,

08:14watch TV, or chill.

08:16It's easy to get infected

08:18with the respiratory syncytial virus.

08:21So let's not spread it.

08:23Be sensitive.

08:24If you already have it,

08:26cover your mouth.

08:28If you're alone,

08:30cover your mouth and wear a mask.

08:32If you're alone,

08:34don't go out too much

08:36or to many people.

08:38You'll get infected.

08:40You'll get infected.

08:42It's your responsibility.

08:44Yes, rest, water,

08:46and vitamins.

08:48That's what we need this holiday season.

08:50And especially,

08:52take care of your babies and mommies.

08:54Alright, thank you so much,

08:56Doc Cynthia,

08:58for answering our questions

09:00about the respiratory syncytial virus,

09:02ORSV.

09:04Thank you so much.
