rsv

Avatar n tn It usually manifest itself as a cold in adults and older children, but can cause serious problems in infants. RSV can cause lower respitory infections, breathing problems, pneumonia or even death. According to statistics, over 125,000 infants are hospitalized annually with Respiratory Syncytial Virus, resulting in more than 500 deaths. RSV can be contracted by placing your hand in your mouth after you have come in contact with an infected person or surface.

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 Okay you suppose to wait 6weeks but to me it depend on the weather if you have your baby in summer it can be earlier then that but winter babies I think need to stay in the house 6-8week just because it's flu season but everybody is different just make sure your little one is dress properly for whatever kind of weather you in
9536744 tn?1414122031 Since babies do not have sinuses like adults then can get rsv which when caught early is easy to handle. If caught later the baby can end up in the hospital. My daughter had it just after she turned 1and we just had to use a nebulizer, but it happened to a friend of mines newborn and he ended up in the hospital for a few days.
Avatar n tn my grandson, born 12/24/12, was hospitalized for rsv on jan 20. at some point he was pulling at the central line iv in his neck, which came out, and was given morphine for pain meds. after some time he was given methadone to come off the morphine. he came home from the hosp on feb 19th and had been off the methadone about a couple days. he has crying episodes and seems in pain. his mom called the nurses who told her he could be having withdrawal.
1468158 tn?1363026295 And babies are much more susceptible to things like the flu, which could also weaken their immune system so they get added infections like RSV (which peaks in February and hospitalized 3 of my nieces). However, because of the type the flu virus is, its possible you could still get a different strand of flu and the vaccine wouldn't protect against it. (That is why there is a new vaccine every year, because the virus changes.) Also because you're pregnant there might be risk factors.
Avatar f tn My colicky baby cries a lot and gets all knotted up red and agitated when having g colic episodes. I bounce him, drive around, tried pacifiers, carry him front on chest with wrap and carrier, I coo him on my chest belly down, swing chair, bathing n massaging, stroller and even gripe water (mommy's bliss) . Its stressful seeing babies cry like that. How do you soothe your babies? Any more ideas? .

Avatar f tn Why do you have to take care of others when you have a newborn? Sorry just curious.
Avatar f tn and I say kid because this other girl puts her 4 yr in a booster seat in the front seat I just look at these ladies like wht are you girls doing babies belong in the back...
Avatar f tn Some babies are born with chalk teeth.. And I've heard of babies teething as early as 2 months but most get their teeth around 6 months, some sooner..
1973145 tn?1325931342 My 5 weeks old baby pulls a stiff neck and make her eyes squint for a while its like she is in her own world at that time it scares me and i dont know what is happening to get her out off that, please can any one tell me how to handel this when it happens.
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 n tn For now, the pressure across the VSD is low, which we can sometimes see early on in babies. This happens because the pressure on the right side of the heart is high when babies are first born. Over the first two months, or so, it decreases and normalizes to about 20-25% of that of the systemic pressure. Therefore, waiting to repeat the echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound) will demonstrate whether the pressure across the defect is much higher.
Avatar f tn I'm in the er with my husband & daughter. She's 6 months & has a fever of 104.2. I don't know what's wrong, but Def am scared!! Such a high fever for a little baby. I'm waiting for the Dr now.
1368291 tn?1299629804 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 Babies in the second six months of life change day to day and learn new and wondrous things to do with their bodies. Needless to say, they repeatedly do some things if they find it amusing or soothing or even just interesting. Your daughter will be entertaining you with quirky movements and noises for a long time to come. You say that she stops doing it when distracted so there is no pathological reason why the foot is being moved back and forth.
2120802 tn?1334878594 Yes perfectly okay,however you should feed absolutely as much breastmilk as possible, using a pump if you have to, because there are many beneficial things in breastmilk that are not in formula. Breastmilk contains antibodies and other immune factors that pass on to the infant, and help keep him free of illness. However if your natural supply is insufficient, that's all there is to it, better to suplement..Congratulations on the birth let us know how she is doping ..
