rsv
I went to my 18 wk sonogram yesterdayand told doc my 14 month old has rsv. A respitory virus and that now i have cold like symptoms and a rash on my face. She said i coukd have parvo and they drew blood to find out for sure but i don't have results yet. She says my baby can become anemic and can need a blood transfusion while in the womb. I am so terrified.
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 .
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.
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???
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.
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.
Im just wondering how the unborn baby can fit inside mothers womb? And is it normal for unborn baby to have weight of 2100grams at 33weeks and 3 days of pregnancy?
Hey,
In Africa and other countries where they can't pay for shots and stuff. Babies are out from birth. Tribes in the amazon give birth in nature and I guess the babies are fine. If you don't feel comfortable with taking your baby out. Wait until the shots. But you have to take him out to get the shots right? So it should be fine. Exposing them to the air etc will increase their immune system. Also breastfeeding will give them a stronger immune system.
The babies are already moving early (8-10) weeks but you won't be able to feel it until later on like 17-23 weeks. I'm 19 weeks and have seen my little muffin jumping around inside my belly and waving and scratching his face but I have yet to feel it.
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?
