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.
