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.

Any other new zealand mummies to be out there? Im 24 and 18/4 due 7th June with my first. Just wondering if anyone else is from NZ as ive only been living here a few months and maternity care is all totally different from the UK.

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.

Hi was wondering if anyone has advise, I have been diagnosed with a 5cm complex cyst. The report from u/s says that the solid part could be focal fatty or focal heamatoma . And to go back in 12 weeks to see if it is still constant and if it is it will most likely be a dermoid cyst rather then a focal haemorrhage. Now I'm going to new Zealand in 1 day for a week. I couldn't get into my regular doctor so went to see a random doctor that said I should postpone my trip.

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

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.

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???

Hi, my names Demelza, I am 37 and live in New Zealand. I am a stay at home mum with 4 awesome kids aged 4,6,8,10. I came here as I have just had my third MRI in a year and I am still very confused. Public funding of MS drugs is limited to older ones and you must met strong criteria to get them. Our public health system has very little user pays in it. So hi.

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...

Is there anyone in new zealand on this site. If so I have started a page on facebook for you to come and join if you would like. I am looking for people in new zealand as I am the only one that I know of. There are also other sites for other places like america and australia. All you need to do is join facebook and then search for New Zealand Chiari or if you are from else where just put where you are from then chiari. These are support groups as well and you can share your story.

Normally, I do pay attention to research from universities in Australia and New Zealand, however I will make an exception in this case. Ling Zhi was heavily promoted by a group of businessmen in Hong Kong, mainly through personal recommendations from doctors (including western trained) and celebrities. It was very expensive and claimed to be a cure-all for everything from cancer to hair-loss.

just want to know how safe would be my partner if we get married? we are planning to get married in new zealand because my bf is in new zealand..is it also possible that nz immigration granted my finace visa though i am hepa b carrier?

I guess it is hard to comprehend what other countries are like. I live in Australia but was born in New Zealand. Both countries are beautiful. New Zealand is a beautiful lush country.

) thank you x

Hi! I just moved to new Zealand, and dont know what to do about my contraception, I usually took pills but I'm running out of them and don't really know what to do or take here. Going to a doctor is going to be really expensive now, so I was thinking to start using the BASAL Thermomether system? Does anybody know something about it??

He did a great talk recently in New Zealand discussing latest research in this area.

do i need a script in New Zealand to get insulin, or can i get it over the counter?? i want to get some just in case anything happens, and it will give my mum some comfort as well, but the Dr said to just wait and see what it turns into because it might not be diabetes... i am very confused at the moment and very very concerned about this as someone in my family (although they were very extended) died of diabetes.
