593530 tn?1263847957 Thanks for the advice ladies. I have been elevating his head pretty much since birth just because I thought it'd be more comfortable for him. And he pees ALL THE TIME! LOL! How does so much fluid come out of something so small!? He seems to be in a much better mood, but he's still pretty congested. Hopefully it'll pass soon.
Avatar f tn Dif your son cough last long after the virus
973741 tn?1342342773 but Influenza is excruciatingly painful (and RSV was not painful but is the only virus I went to an ER fearing death.) I fear Influenza so much I have been doing masks and Listerine for years but all it takes is that one exposure (RSV) during a lapse in following my own advice. I am curious whether Influenza could be eradicated in the future.
Avatar m tn RSV ( Respiratory synctial virus) is an antibody test that detects antibodies against RSV virus thats related to a respiratory infection. Lets wait till other experts comment on your query.
Avatar n tn is there any chance you can tell me how i could help my cousine should i sew the gp for not detecting the virus and sending her home to be rushed into intensive care 24 hours later ?
Avatar f tn When my 4 year old had RSV when he was 5 weeks old, also on a vent for 11 days, (he had RSV a second time when he was 2 1/2 in the hospital 5 days no vent.) they said he could end up having asthma. Every time we go see the pulmonologist *sorry if I spelled it wrong, they ask how often does he couh at night. None, doen't cough in the day time either only when he is sick. So from what I was told and understand it does sound like he has asthma.
Avatar m tn If a person has sex with a HIV+ person how long would it take before the other person can pass the virus over to a thrid person. Example if a man had sex with a women tonight who is HIV+. If that same man has sex with his wife the next day is it to early for him to pass the virus over to his wife, being that himself only been exspoused to the virus only one day.
Avatar f tn 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!!
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn No. Only current flu vaccine protects you against the various strains of flu. If you read the Ribavirin Prescribing Information for ribavirin, right at the top of the label it says... Indications and Usage for Ribavirin 'The safety and efficacy of Ribavirin tablet therapy for the treatment of adenovirus, RSV, parainfluenza or influenza infections have not been established. Ribavirin tablets should not be used for these indications.
Avatar m tn I am not grace (shes better looking than I) but let me explain the scale. The numbers at that level are just how sure the test is. Going off what grace said and what little I know from reading the forums (grace will and does correct me if I am off) the level you are at is above the typical false positive range. The number can and will change from test to to test. Its not a measure of how much anitbody is int he blood its just how the test confirms it is a good result.
Avatar n tn We know that herpes can trigger inflammatory changes in the body. Already have some other things going on that perhaps hadn't gotten to the point yet where you notice them, the events in the body that can occur with a herpes infection, can sometimes set off all sorts of things. Medicine over the last several years has been putting more and more together about viral triggers of other illnesses.
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.
Avatar f tn Whereas ours do not. Can cuffing and atelectasis cause long term damage? How long does it take for this to clear up? What causes scar tissue? Is it normal to have pneumonia as frequently as he does? I do own a pulse oximeter, which I use to closely monitor his o2 (normally he is 96 or above, several times a week he does drop to 91-95), usually in addition to other symtpoms of clamminess, shortness of breath, frequent/persistant coughing.
1058261 tn?1256057540 I want to wake up every morning and that not be the first thing I think of. So here goes my question how long does the leg pain last going through W/D? How long will my energy level be zapped? I feel like even walking a short distance is a struggle. thanks for any advice you can give me.
