rsv newborn jaundice

you also might want to ask your cardiologist or primary doctor about if your little one should recieve the synagis vaccine. this is to help lesson the effects of RSV (this is a viral infection) most kids can fight it off, if they are healthy to begin with. i am not sure if your little one would qualify. I wouldn't see why not. this infection from what I was toldif it affects newborns who are premmeis have a heart condition, lung issues and a low immune system.

First, I'm with Annie on the respiratory viruses. Covid, RSV, the flu - there are so many things going around right now, and RSV hits babies especially hard. You don't mention why your husband doesn't want this particular person around. Is there a certain reason why he's been okay with others visiting, but not this person?

My son was born Thursday and has Jaundice. I took him in for his newborn check up and his bilirubin numbers have increased. I am so scared idk what to do. The doctor wants to check his numbers again and I just don't see why they won't just go ahead and treat him instead of constantly checking him. I am about to have a panic attack I am so angry and confused. Any advice or encouraging words? What can I do to help my baby?

My LO got sick at 3wks with a terrible ccough he got from my 3yr old it was the most frightening thing ever. It was the mucous type n ever time he coughed he would gag so hard n stop breathing since he was so lil his pedi ccouldn't do nothing. We had to just let it run its course. I had baby vicks n vaporizer after a week n half it passed thank god but it was terrifying.

She did have a little bit of jaundice so we had to take her every few days to monitor her levels but she was just fine :-)

Oh. Well, lots of babies w/o Hep B experience jaundice. In fact, there's no reason why a newborn WITH Hep B with have jaundice as a result of the hepatitis. They generally have no symptoms. The HBIG is a different shot than the vaccination.

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.

All medicated during pregnancy, insulin for my Diabetes. At birth my son had jaundice requiring at return to the hosp for 3 days after we went home. His initial newborn screen showed abn Tsh, but when repeated it was "ok". We went in for his 4 month visit and he was in the 7th percentile for weight, so the md did a TSH, and T4. T4 was normal, TSH was 9. Waiting on a callback with recommendations from our Pediatrician.

Nor can jaundice itself give you Hep B. Jaundice is a symptom of Hep B. Hep B is viral and requires blood-to-blood contact (or body fluid-to-blood)...phototherapy wouldn't cut it as a form of transmission.

There is something in formula that is not in breast milk that the bilirubin will cling to and helps get rid of jaundice. Newborn formula is fine. I exult be very careful though how you administer though. Bottle feeding can cause nipple confusion so we used a medicine dropper to give the formula. Took forever but was worth it.

Jaundice is the most well-known symptom of Gilbert's Syndrome. Jaundice can cause of a feeling of itchiness, and can be associated with dark urine and light stools. Gilbert's syndrome is caused by an inherited gene mutation. It affects three to seven percent of people in the United States. You're born with Gilbert's syndrome but is often undiagnosed until puberty or later, because bilirubin production increases during puberty. It's more commonly diagnosed in males.

My son was born at 36weeks, he was in special care for a week due to hyperglycemia and jaundice, but apart from that he is now a very happy and healthy 15month old :)

Hi, my newborn is 1 month 24days old now. VSD was detected since she was born 4th days done by ECO. She also suffered Jaundice had 18 hours photo therapy treatments.heavy breathing constantly especially during feeding times. There is no sweating and the heart rythum is perfectly normal.her VSD size is 3mm and mild PDA . She was seen by doctor suggested to wait until she is 3 months and stay under supervision and there is 90% for the hole to close until then.

My 11 week has rsv .. He was full term .. Has any other mother had this in a infant ..

Finally a few days ago i took him in again to the ER n they found out he has a virus newborns have been getting its Called Rsv n if they would have tested it before they would have found it i was So pissed!!! So now today we got out of the childerns hospital they sent him home with oxygen but to me he still seems bad but they that he was Fine!!

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???

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.

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...

I love holding her, but sleep is hard, and getting anything done(like a shower) is very difficult. She had jaundice in the hospital, and another round of treatment at home, it was heartbreaking tohear her scream and be unable to hold her. I think that experience has made her more clingy. I know I have to get her sleeping out of my arms, but I don't know how. I breast feed, but she also uses a pacifier occasionally.

How long are you going to wait to take your newborn out into the world?

My lil guy is 5 days old and after every nursing session (about every 2 hours) he has a BM...either during or right after nursing. Sometimes it's a lot, and sometimes it's just a little. Is it pretty normal for him to go this many times? I can't seem to remember what my first son did. How often did your newborn go?? He is healthy, and was a bit jaundice, but he now looks so much better.

I brought my newborn to a clinic to checking his jaundice index.the nurses used a lancet device to prick my baby's heel then used a capillary to collect a small sample of his blood.i realized that the lancet device is old and dirty,obviously they did not change a new one.if they reused the lancet,if the lancet was used by a person who have HIV,is that any risk for my baby to be infected?l'm a worrying mom and thank u for your answer.Sorry for my poor English.

I wish I'd had more newborn diapers. He flew through the first ones! I have a boy, so vasaline and gauze, then my nipples were flat apparently, so I had to get medela silicone nipple shields so he would breastfeed. I don't have near enough itty bitty clothes, the newborn clothes were too big!! (FYI he was 40&4, 7lbs .5oz) Vitamin D drops (again cause I breastfeed), a Peri rinse spray type bottle, cause I ripped and needed stitches. Made cleaning myself so much easier!!
