How can I keep my toddler from getting it? My toddler seems to have a cold. What are the chances of it turning out to be RSV? Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infects all children sooner or later, and it is rarely more troublesome for a toddler than the common cold. RSV poses the biggest threat to babies between the ages of 2 and 7 months because it can cause bronchiolitis (a disease in which the smallest airways of the lungs swell and fill with mucus, blocking airflow) and pneumonia (an inflammation of the lungs). The biggest problem with RSV for toddlers is that it can also lead to ear infections How will I know if my child has RSV? Most likely, your child will initially show cold symptoms, such as a runny nose, a minor cough, and fever, and develop a more pronounced cough a couple of days later. At this age, RSV probably won't get any worse than that. Still, watch carefully for the following signs of respiratory distress in your child, and call the doctor immediately if you see any: Flaring nostrils and greatly expanding rib cage with each breath * Sucking in of the skin between the ribs, above the collarbone, or below the ribcage

About RSV Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the most common cause of respiratory tract infections in children. Infants most at risk for RSV are those born prematurely, twins and other multiples, babies born with heart or lung disorders, and those in environments such as daycare, with heightened exposure to other infected infants. RSV season occurs from late fall through spring in most areas of the country. RSV is highly contagious and infects most infants at some time. It is often mistaken for a cold and children often recover without ever being diagnosed. In more serious cases, however, RSV causes inflammation and blockage that can cause severe and permanent damage. Click to learn more about RSV Synagis for RSV Prevention Used as a preventative medication, doctors prescribe monthly injections of Synagis for high-risk infants during RSV season. We will stock Synagis throughout RSV season and can deliver the medication within 24 hours when necessary. Chronimed can also provide Respigam, another medication often prescribed for prevention of RSV.

So it's very important to wash your hands well to prevent spreading the virus to yourself and others. What are the symptoms? It starts with a low-grade fever and runny nose. Other symptoms include a sore throat (pharyngitis), symptoms of the "common cold," a cough, ear infection, redness and mucus in the eyes, wheezing, and chest congestion. These symptoms appear five to eight days after infection with the virus. A hard, repeated cough; faster, harder breathing; and vomiting with the cough may start a few days later.

Prevention Alternative names: RSV Definition: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that causes mild cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can cause serious respiratory infections in young babies, especially those born prematurely, who have heart or lung disease, or who are immunocompromised. Causes and Risks RSV is the most common respiratory pathogen in infants and young children. It has infected nearly all infants by the age of two years. Seasonal outbreaks of acute respiratory illness occur each year, on a schedule that is somewhat predictable in each region. The season typically begins in the fall and runs into the spring. RSV is spread easily by physical contact. Touching, kissing, and shaking hands with an infected person can spread RSV. Transmission is usually by contact with contaminated secretions, which may involve tiny droplets or objects that droplets have touched. RSV can live for half an hour or more on hands. The virus can also live up to five hours on countertops and for several hours on used tissues. RSV often spreads very rapidly in crowded households and day care centers. In infants and young children, RSV can cause

If my baby is premature and at risk for RSV, how can I keep him from getting it? My baby seems to have a cold, but my doctor warned me that it might be respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) instead. Should I be worried? It depends. In most babies and young children, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is no more troublesome than a cold, although it's caused by a different type of virus. But it's also the most common cause of two lung disorders, bronchiolitis and pneumonia, in babies between the ages of 2 and 7 months. Bronchiolitis (a disease that swells the smallest airways of the lungs and fills them with mucus, blocking airflow) and pneumonia, an inflammation of the lungs, can be dangerous even deadly for very young babies.
