All three extremely contagious respiratory illnesses—the flu, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)—are brought on by viruses. The flu is brought on by the influenza virus, COVID-19 by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and RSV by the respiratory syncytial virus. It is conceivable for a person to have the three viruses (F lu, COVID-19, and RSV) active at once.

- Sore throat
- Dry cough
- Congestion or runny nose
- Fever
- Headache
However, severe cases of RSV can cause pneumonia-like symptoms, which include the above symptoms as well as:
- Wheezing
- Bluish skin color
- Difficulty breathing
