Rsv in a newborn

Common Questions and Answers about Rsv in a newborn

rsv

Avatar f tn If this dynamic is what is happening, you two should work out a more adult way to talk about differences in opinion of how to live your lives together. Pouting and feeling hurt in order to manipulate a change in someone else is kind of childish and also pretty useless -- if he doesn't realize he's being bossy, you sticking out your lower lip and feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to change his behavior. You have to act like an adult, and address it head on.
3588173 tn?1357317184 So a few days I had posted that I had a cough and asked if I should go in...my 3 wk old now has a cough! What do I do?!
Avatar f tn RSV is more prevelant those months but can happen any month and is very dangerous for a newborn. My son had it at 2 weeks and being told about intubation, medovac and permenant lung damage is not worth it.
Avatar f tn When my 4 year old had RSV when he was 5 weeks old, also on a vent for 11 days, (he had RSV a second time when he was 2 1/2 in the hospital 5 days no vent.) they said he could end up having asthma. Every time we go see the pulmonologist *sorry if I spelled it wrong, they ask how often does he couh at night. None, doen't cough in the day time either only when he is sick. So from what I was told and understand it does sound like he has asthma.

593530 tn?1263847957 I brought Brody to his pediatrician last week because he was very congested. After a nose swab was tested it was determined that he has RSV. Since it's a virus it can't be treated with antibiotics, so she instructed me to get a cool mist humidifier and keep his nasal pasages clear by using saline solution. The only symptom he's had is the congestion. There's no fever, coughing, mucous coming out, etc.
Avatar n tn My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???
Avatar f tn My son had rsv and the hospital kept him and thankfully we were released in a few hours because his breathing was better.its scary to do that at home, honestly they should of kept him he's only an infant ! Please contact a doctor I honestly don't think he should be home my son was two months old when he had it, and my husband ask if we can go home with him and they told us some pretty scary stuff .
Avatar f tn t take her out until after her 2 month shots, because my 2nd daughter ended up hospitalized due to RSV and then a flu like virus from her babysitter having her out and around too many people and germs. I also don't allow visitors for the same length of time and reaon. With my son we didn't take him out for about 5 months other than appointments because he was 7 weeks premature and in the NICU for almost a month.
1368291 tn?1299629804 The bad thing is on Friday I noticed Ryan getting a little stuffy. Saturday he was having lots of nasal congestion and coughing so I took him to the ER. He tested positive for RSV so the last few days have been scary. We are doing a cool mist humidifier with eucalyptus oil at night, albuterol breathing treatments and keeping his nose suctioned out. I hope he gets better soon but I did learn that apparently you cant trust family to let you know...
Avatar f tn ve been reading your post and researching a bit to see if I can be of help, as your child sounds quite ill in his lower respiratory tract. The RSV can be a serious virus in young children. Were you told much about it? Did the pulmonologist (hopefully you're seeing a specialist!) explain why he/she thinks your son was having these difficulties? Usually a full term baby - even one with asthma doesn't have so many other respiratory disorders.
Avatar f tn I took my 4 week old to the ER and they told me he has RSV. They just gave me a paper on it, They didn't really tell me what to do except suction out his nose. I read the paper ad it told me that in mild disease that no specific treatment is necessary. So I guess he is only a mild case, but I don't know how to tell if he is getting worse. I read on another site that family history of asthma puts him at a higher risk for becoming a severe case. I am know wen he is getting worse?
2006603 tn?1331329327 Everyone will have their own opinion on the matter. Some will say they took their newborn out at a few days old, while others will say they waited a few weeks. I had c sections with both my boys and I waited a few weeks because I could barely move. I also had my youngest son in Dec, which is the start of rsv season. I waited to take him out longer, and I didn't take him out as often for that reason!
1347128 tn?1333810296 My 3 month baby had RSV when he was 6 weeks old, but since then, he has a phlegm sound, that is always there.
377012 tn?1283965435 Supposedly you can hear it with a stehoscope but a chest xray is the only way for sure. With an asthmatic child, it might be difficult to determine just by listening because I am sure he is wheezy regardless if he has pneumonia! Just a suggestion though, perhaps you could get him on some prednisone or some sort of steroid. I had a viral infection that they thought was pneumonia in June and the steroids were the only thing that kept me going.
Avatar f tn My choice is to wait until they are at least a month or more. With my first I took him out early and he ended up catching RSV, had alot of complications from it. I say if you are going to go out early AVOID people! lol Seriously avoid high traffic areas. All I did was go to WalMart and bam my son was very very ill shortly after.
1346146 tn?1299360497 Well Lauren has rsv! My pedi also said adults can get it to!?!? Didn't know that. I guess that explains this cold type stuff I have. So she is on breathing treatments. We caught it early enough so hopefully it wont be so bad. Dh is also sick, my oldest son broke his foot last week at school and is in a nonwalking cast, and Lauren also bit my left breast last week while nursing and it's infected so im on antibiotics and she can't nurse from that side!
Avatar f tn 5 and 10 month old in one room and newborn in the old room or should I double up the 10 month old and the baby in one room? I know I have some time to think about it and figure out what is best but I like to have everything organized ahead of time so we know what we are doing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn RSV is a resportory disease that starts as a common cold and then starts to shot down the resportory system very scary. We finally found out what it was that my daughter had. She had strep in the stomach and intestines. Instead of the strep staying in her throat she swallowed it. She got worse that ever after I posted this, so I brought her to a different hospital and they figured it out. thanks for responding.
Avatar f tn my baby has RSV. I felt sick a little before we found out she had it and then a cople days later I got a cold do you think that could be it? and thank you.
377012 tn?1283965435 a few people have told me that it could have been chemical pregnancies or ovarian cysts causing false positives but when i was preggo before they never told me about any cysts on my ovaries?????
Avatar m tn Hi, are you sure you mentioned the laboratory attendant to do a HIV test? RSV ( Respiratory synctial virus) is an antibody test that detects antibodies against RSV virus thats related to a respiratory infection. Lets wait till other experts comment on your query.
