Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a common viral disease of the lungs. 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.
a common cold, mild headache, cough, fever, and a general feeling of being ill. I should mention that respiratory symptoms are present too.
An adult can fight this virus without meds.
Still, I haven't really heard of nausea along with a common cold but I'd ask for a sample to see if it is bacterial or viral, and if bacterial - what kind of bacteria it is, even if RSV is viral.
He has pneumonia every other month (since birth), he has also had bronchiolitis (without RSV), bronchitis, H1N1, and most currently RSV. When he was two we removed his tonsil and adenoids in hopes to help his asthma symptoms. While it did decrease the amount of sinus infections he had, it did nothing to help any other area.
He is on Advair, 115/21 two puffs twice daily, and Allegra (for unknown allergies).
Hello, my daughter, age 3, had a bronchoscopy and CT scan after repeated bouts of pneumonia in the same spot, right middle lobe. This all started after a severe RSV/pneumonia hospitalization as an infant.
Her CT scan was read as "mild bronchiectasis" in the right middle lobe, same spot as her atelectasis. We know for sure that her last bout of pneumonia in march never fully cleared, b/c we did X-rays every 3 months. So she's had this atelectasis spot for quite awhile now.
I know that eating disorders is being more and more recognized as not just being an issue for teens and young women as I have read more and more about it and my therapist says it is so very common in the older population as well. The only thing I can tell you is that your not alone and please seek some help. Your therapist can keep the fact that your seeking help for that issue very private. I am in help right now for several things but the eating disorder is certainly 1 of them.

I have a four month old son who got RSV along with the whole household in early February. We live at altitude (7200) feet, but the baby did well--- one night of observation in the hospital, where his O2 sats were 96-97 when he was being held or was upright, but would fall when sleeping or laying down into the mid-80s. So, he went on oxygen.
Two months later he is still failing every overnight oxygen study in order to get him off nighttime oxygen.
When tracheomalacia is due to an anatomic abnormality or mass in children or adults the prognosis depends in large measure on surgical correction and how long the bronchial compression has been in place. The adult form, which is often due to connective tissue disorders or prolonged mechanical ventilation, is increasingly being treated with success by the placement of splints.
Sexual Life is a big part of our existence, but the way we do sex, and the frequency with which we do sex, changes greatly over time. Although studies suggest frequency of sexual activity may decline as you get older, for many older adults, sex is still a big part of their lives.
As some studies show, older adults are not without their desire to have sex, and having an active sexual life is something to encourage.
Just a quick follow up question regarding the answer you gave me Dr. I have found a couple of online articles stating that Ribavirin has either: little or no HIV effect.
All I hear is I want this or that and dinner was not what I want so throw it away and make us each something different. I have one with a birthday in a week and two with birthdays in December. I give the two that have birthdays just before Christmas theirs early so they appreciate the gifts more, with Christmas a few days later the birthday gift don't get the appreciation they deserve. My husband and I decided to give all three their presents today.
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?
I am wanting so answers regarding ADD in adults. What are the major symptoms? Does it get more severe with age?
