I work in an ER and urgent care. Seeing more and more flu, COVID, and RSV each week.

What is rsv like in adults? Also when can I expect this fever to break if it is indeed the flu. Been sitting at 101.6 since sat night. Been taking advil every 6 hours to keep it at bay.

RSV in otherwise relatively healthy adults is usually like any other cold. We don’t routinely test specifically for RSV but will find it once in a while. Seeing a lot of it in kids. Flu too.

Flu typically you feel like you got hit by a truck for 2-3 days and then it should start to let off the gas a bit.
