The basis for the diagnosis of the disease caused by the RSV virus is an examination performed by the doctor in conjunction with the analysis of symptoms. It is possible to carry out additional laboratory tests and an antigen test, which consists in detecting virus antigens in material obtained by nasal or nasopharyngeal swabs. What tests to perform in the laboratory should be decided by the pediatrician. In pharmacies, including GdziePoLek online, home tests are available to detect antigens of three different viruses that may cause viral respiratory infections. However, they may not be suitable for the youngest children (under 2 years of age): https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/117592/test-antygenowy-grypa-a-b-covid-19-rsv-combo-milapharm-test/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/118073/test-antygenowy-grypa-a-b-covid-19-rsv-combo-ag-fluorecare-test/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/117516/test-antygenowy-grypa-a-b-covid-19-rsv-combo-ag-diather-test/apteki I also enclose our article, which can be yours Interest: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/blog/wirus-rsv-czy-czeka-nas-epidemia-wsrod-dzieci
