There has been a confirmed case of rsv in my sons class at daycare. What is the chance he contracted it and if he did what signs do I need to watch for? Just asking cause or doctor automatically hospitalizes all children under 1 if they have it and I wanna be prepared. Thanks...

It's essentially like a really really bad cold. The severity of it differs, some kids just get a regular cold while others might have severe respiratory issues and may be hospitalized because they're not getting enough oxygen.

My daughter got RSV at 2 months and wound up getting Bronchiolitis from it. She was in and out of the hospital for 2 weeks because she couldn't breath. She had to have nasopharyngeal suctionings because the mucus was so bad she couldn't breath and would choke.

How old is your little one?

My son is 2 1/2 months and he has bronchioitis. Its a bad cold and cough and you can't give them medicine it has to run it's course he's had it for like 2.5 weeks but he only coughs sometimes now and some mucus will come up after the babas. Vaporizers with the solution helped and I haven't tried this but my friend said it's great. Try tgr soothing bath vapors too? She said clears the nose right out!
