Avatar f tn My 2 year old son acquired severe RSV at 6 weeks old. Ever since then he now has virally induced asthma. So he's been hospitalized a few times with bronchiolitis when he was 1 years old. The typical treatment has been 2ce a day pulmicort and 3xs a day to every 4 hours of albuterol. If that didn't work they would add predisone and sometimes zithromax. And those combos knocked it out. Well he now has 3 weeks of a rattling cough that just doesn't go away.
478429 tn?1265244387 -) Peyton is doing much better and she can probably go home today. Her RSV came back negative so they are thinking probably Bronchiolitis. I'll talke more to the doc today. I brought her to the ER Sunday evening b/c she had a really hard cough, rapid/labored breathing and was wheezing. She got 3 nebulizer treatments in an hour and a half in the ER which helped some, but her stats still didn't stay up.
Avatar f tn 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).

Avatar f tn In 2008 she had 4 Pneumonias, Bronchiolitis, Bronchitus, 3 sinus infections, RSV, and an ear infection, she also had several viral infections. She has 3 confirmed diagnosis' ; GERD, Asthma, and mild Laryngo malasia. Her doctor suspected a T.E. fistula ( H formation ) but saw no evidence of this.
Avatar f tn Birth--we thought he was still born (it took them 30+ min to get him to a level of being ok). 6 weeks he acquired RSV and was in the hospital for a week. Then he got another bout of bronchiolitis at 3 mo. I HATE when he has respiratory issues. I can't sleep, eat, etc. I wound up sleeping on the hardwood floor with pillows because I wanted to be there with him for every second in case something bad happened. Being a parent, while beautiful, can be the most stressful thing ever.
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 Lymphocytic bronchiolitis is a lung infection (inflammation of the bronchioles-the airways that extend beyond the bronchi and end in the alveoli) that affects the more distal airways; it is a viral inflammatory process. Most people are diagnosed with this in childhood but has been seen in older people as well. In the adult clinic, conventional and high-resolution radiology and respiratory functional studies are suggestive of the diagnosis but the etiology usually requires tissue.
Avatar f tn I was recently dignosed with Respiratory Bronchiolitis Interstitial Lung disease and even after talking to the doctor I don't know what to expect from this disease. Also what are the sympthoms besided shortness of breath and chest pain? Because I currently have several other sympthoms such as joint pain, muscle pain, severe fatigue, headaches, ligthheadness, and over feeling of illness. Also, are there any treatments for this disease? My doctor said nothing works.

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!!
593530 tn?1263847957 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.
1368291 tn?1299629804 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...
Avatar f tn I spoke with my doctor today and she has ordered blood tests and a biopsy. She is leaning towards bronchiolitis. I have researched this and mostly find it is related to young children. Are there any treatments for bronchiolitis in adults? Thanking you in advnace for your reply.
1840402 tn?1355432565 His symptoms could be due to Bronchiolitis, which is a common lung infection, often caused by a virus. Bronchiolitis can cause bronchial spasm and repeated coughing, more so in the night. For therapy bronchodilators are given as syrups or inhalers. On initiating therapy with this, the cough symptoms are likely to increase in an effort to bring out the secretions. Repeated steam inhalations can help loosen up and bring out the secretions, though this should be done prior to meals.
Avatar n tn BOOP is bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, a type of chronic lung disease. i know that this remedi is made on a honey base, with many herbs and spices. i understand that he (Solomon) has sent from israel to europe and the u.s. i have no idea how the money transation takes place, but i'm sure i could find out.
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?
1347128 tn?1333810296 My 3 month baby had RSV when he was 6 weeks old, but since then, he has a phlegm sound, that is always there.
Avatar m tn Hi, are you sure you mentioned the laboratory attendant to do a HIV test? 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.
1346146 tn?1299360497 Well Lauren has rsv! My pedi also said adults can get it to!?!? Didn't know that. I guess that explains this cold type stuff I have. So she is on breathing treatments. We caught it early enough so hopefully it wont be so bad. Dh is also sick, my oldest son broke his foot last week at school and is in a nonwalking cast, and Lauren also bit my left breast last week while nursing and it's infected so im on antibiotics and she can't nurse from that side!
377012 tn?1283965435 (crying all night) so i left out some info! in Oct. he was diagnosed with RSV and then again at the end of Nov.-first of Dec. he had it again! unfortunately RSV can take up to 8 weeks before it is released from your system hence why he had it twice in 2 months....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 f tn my baby has RSV. I felt sick a little before we found out she had it and then a cople days later I got a cold do you think that could be it? and thank you.
Avatar f tn Then fever up to 104 and deydration the next took her to the ER they put her on IVs but could not find whats wrong. She has a history of RSV could this be what it is again. I dont know what o do?
377012 tn?1283965435 uuggghhh it was like acid coming up green watery substance. my son was diagnosed with RSV yesterday and i was wondering if im not preggo then could the RSV affect me causing me to feel this way?????
Avatar f tn One of my friends new born baby was diagnosed with rsv she is only a month old she is still in the hospital. And last night her 2 year old got bit by a dog. She was rushed to the er . She has to save surgery this morning if you can please say a prayer for this family.
