最近新聞提到大家較少聽過的「鼻病毒」，引來一陣恐慌的感覺，但我跟大家說，他是老面孔，不是新同學
當我們提到「感冒」，其實最常見的元兇就是「鼻病毒」（Rhinovirus）
鼻病毒就像是「感冒界的派對high咖」，全年無休地活躍著，特別喜歡在秋天和春天的「派對季」搞局
在五歲以下的孩子特別常見。
它分成三個「家族成員」：RV-A、RV-B 和 RV-C。
家族超級龐大，有超過150種不同的「分身」，讓我們免疫系統防不勝防（腸病毒和腺病毒7-80種已經很不得了，它還更多）
鼻病毒的症狀有哪些？
-喉嚨痛
- 鼻塞、流鼻水
- 打噴嚏、咳嗽
- 成人通常不發燒，孩子可能會有發燒。
可能喘鳴（特別是有氣喘或過敏性鼻炎的孩子）。
還可能引發中耳炎、鼻竇炎，或加重氣喘和慢性阻塞性肺病急性發作。遇到氣喘高峰，不可不慎
如何區分鼻病毒、流感病毒、RSV 和腺病毒？
鼻病毒：它是專攻鼻子專家，以鼻部症狀為主（流鼻水、鼻塞），喉嚨痛和咳嗽常見，但成人少發燒。症狀通常在2-3天內達到高峰，7-10天內緩解。
流感病毒：高燒、全身痠痛和頭痛，讓你瞬間覺得被「擊倒」。鼻部症狀不明顯，全身疲倦感強烈。
RSV: 幼兒，狂咳嗽，少數會喘。
腺病毒：咽喉炎和結膜炎，腸胃不適，發燒也很常見，特別是對小朋友來說，病程可能更長更辛苦。
但對於有氣喘或過敏體質的孩子，特別是RV-C類型，可能會引發喘鳴或呼吸困難。高風險族群（如免疫力低下者）也可能出現下呼吸道感染。
所以它不是新同學，它只是平常坐在教室後面，惦惦吃三碗飯、不太說話的那個I人同學而已
