Common Questions and Answers about What is rsv disease in babies

rsv

Avatar n tn I am assuming that the WPW was ablated and if so then he is at low risk for recurrence of the SVT. If ablation was not undertaken, and he is on medications for prevention, then I would say he still can undergo routine day care with low risk of recurrence.
Avatar f tn My 11 week has rsv .. He was full term .. Has any other mother had this in a infant ..
Avatar f tn My 4 year old son coughs constantly at night. It's a dry, hacking cough which does not bring up any phlegm. It doesn't sound "sick" at all--it's the type of cough I wouldn't even notice except that he does it so frequently. During the day, often when he laughs or cries, it turns into the same dry, hacking cough. Otherwise, I haven't noticed that he does much coughing during the day. Does this sound like asthma? He has never wheezed or had difficulty breathing.
Avatar f tn My sons dr thought I was crazy when I said my son was throwing up too much saying babies spit it thats what they do... till I fed him and he threw up. He had severe acid reflux. Us woman gotta be persistent when it comes 2 our kids.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn they did several echos on him for the first few months of his life, i was told this is to monitor him I do want to make a suggestion and you really need to talk to your daughters cardiologist about this, there is an illness and I am not trying to scare you, but there is an illness out there called RSV, it is a cold in you and I and healthy children.
Avatar f tn Is there any chance there is something in your home such as black mold or something. The asthma and skin problems and can weaken the immune system. Just something to think about. I hope you find out the problem!
Avatar f tn PS What is RSV you mentioned?
Avatar f tn I believe it is usually referred to as fifths disease in humans. Look it up because I'm not positive, but there is an outbreak of fifths going around elementary schools in my area.
229857 tn?1319029907 Oh he also has a little rash on his face which I know is common in babies that have a cold or other type of infection... the thing im worried about is RSV??? I think thats what its called. I read online it usually shows up between 4-6 week olds and he is 4 weeks... also im worried about the dark yellow mucus being an infection like pneunomia or something.. Gosh I hate the internet!!
2189208 tn?1339572701 Wen she was developing in my tummy two of her chromosomes got stuck together which caused her to have a copper deficiency n copper plays a good role in organs her organs weren't as strong as most babies so wen she got rsv she couldn't fight it her organs were too weak
593530 tn?1263847957 Hang in there it will pass, as you probly know just monitor his fluid intake closely, make sure he is still peeing alot! It is very easy for these little ones to become dehydrated. Also try to elevate his head when he sleeps if you havn't already that will help keep his nose clear.
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 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...
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 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 mouth disease twice, ear infections on at least 2 seperate occasions, and now this. She also has a lump in the back of her head that they expected to go away within 6 mths., that will be 2 yrs. ago this July. Now they are thinking it is just a cyst. She routinely has swollen lymph nodes on the rt. side of her neck, but they feel that too is normal because of her fighting her infections.
287246 tn?1318570063 She is happy and in good spirits, so that part is good. But she is congested in her chest. I took her to the doctor today. They said her lungs sounded clear and gave her a decongestant, but I am still a bit nervous. Her cough just sounds so sad but she is eating pretty normally it seems and the doc said that is a good sign. She said of course if she gets worse or stops eating, etc., to take her to the ER. She isn't running a fever as of yet either.
Avatar m tn Dear Rjthkids, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a virus that can cause severe pulmonary infections in infants. The effects of this, especially in the still developing lungs after birth, can take a long time from which to recover. However, you have a special circumstance that complicates things: you live at significant altitude. The relative lack of oxygen at that altitude can lead to elevated blood pressure across the lungs, which is called pulmonary hypertension.
Avatar f tn I prego w baby 3. I never take my lil ones into public when they are lil. Newborns have no immunity to the outside world. The good thing is this time of yr it's not a high flu/RSV season. However they can still get sick. If they get sick there is nothing U can give them. Babies can get RSV which is a virus-but really just a common cold is extremely bad for babies. That's why they say to wash Ur hands before even touching the baby.
Avatar n tn Not that I am aware of,however about 6 months after I was diagnosed with HSV2 I developed Rheumatoid Arthritis which is an Autoimmune Disease I believe can be triggered by infection or a virus,it may have been coincidental it may not but I guess thats something I'll never know for sure ......
1347128 tn?1333810296 Your description of his continuing symptoms suggests that the lingering problem is limited to his nose and throat, not his lungs, which is what we have to worry about with RSV. I also gather that, while keeping his nose clear is the main problem that he is, otherwise, not in any respiratory distress. Also your statement that “he is a happy boy” is very encouraging, an important positive sign.
Avatar f tn OTOH, tending against CML is that CML in the young occurs most in teen males. For very young females, AML is more likely yet AML doesn't cause thrombocytosis, as far as I know. OTOH, I don't see how PFSyndromes would cause thrombocytosis. P.S. Mark me if I'm wrong, but a test for the Philadelphia Chromosome (testing for CML) could also be done from a blood sample - though a BMB would also provide more info (on the condition inside the marrow).
Avatar f tn There is very little info on the internet about this. And what is on here is pretty extreme. The doctors told me that they usually only see it in babies who are born premature or have many other medical conditions, but my daughter is otherwise healthy and was full term. Regardless, don't let the doctors silence your instincts. If you know there is something wrong with your nephew, then make sure you tell them that. Just remember, you're paying the doctors to find out whats wrong.
306245 tn?1244384967 t believe that asthma is doing this to him. here is a quick history of what he has had done and what is going on.. he was born with a large VSD at 5 weeks was on a vent. for 11 days with the RSV (the extubated on day 9, but had to re intubate. at just over 2 months he went into heart failure. 3 just over 3 months had his heartsugery, not onlly did he have a Large VSD he had a small ASD, and a PDA which were taken caer of. he developed MRSA after the surgery.
377012 tn?1283965435 the reason i thought it could be pneumonia is because of the way is chest moves when he breathes and because RSV can cause pneumonia to be set up in your system since your system is low especially in toddlers!
Avatar m tn I brought him in on Friday morning to be checked out and it turns out he caught a virus called Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is basically an infection of the lungs. Even writing this I break in tears to see my little one suffer so much. It's more like a common cold in adults but for kids his age is more like Bronchiolitis. I had to take him to the ER because of the fever and congestion.
