rsv

Avatar m tn He was seen by 3 docs for URI over a period of six weeks. The last was 24 hours before finding he has passedhis crib.as her husband was in Iraq, oaying with us. The state coroner's exam found the COD to be interstitial pnuemonitis c/w recent URI. His interstital tissue was fille with CHronic inflammation and weighed twice that wigh is considered normal at his age. THe was enlarging an pre mortum congestion and infection in several other areas to include liver. kidney and pericardium.
Avatar n tn He had a stridor that went away by 3 years old. He did not developement upper respiratory infections (URI) until he was almost 2. He is now 10. To date he has had RSV, 6 Pneumonia's, 6 Brochitis/Bronchilitis and 15 Croups. The doctors simply told us at the time that he would out grown it. We still struggle with his health. The best advised I can give you is keep a calendar of events on him. Write on "his calendar" all the times he coughes is ill what meds he is on...whatever.

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???
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 m tn When my friend adopted her cat from a shelter she was told that this cat had been treated for URI and was no longer contagious even though she continued to have trouble breathing (making noises). Then my friend adopted another cat and this second cat did not get sick although there was a time when he would not eat for a few days. Then my friend and her cats moved in with me about 2 years ago and 6 of my 7 cats got sick with URI.
Avatar m tn I look after several feral cats and one has an URI. The cat in question will not allow us to handle him but we can feed him seperate. I have some Trimethoprim and wondered in the right dose this would work for him. Our local cat shelter cannot help as they are overrun and vets are just to expensive. Hope there is someone who can help.

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 f tn In October my 5 year old female cat received a shot of ampicillin and clavmox for URI. Although her sneezing with discharge has decreased somewhat, it still continues. We have 2 other cats who all share food/water bowls. One has mid-stage kidney disease so his immune system is compromised. Neither of the cats (nor any of the humans) she lives with show signs of URI. And believe me she's sneezed on everything and everybody!
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?
Avatar n tn This is typical of URI. I have seen so many URI's it ain't even funny!! This just sounds like your cat's got a severe case of it. Your kitty is in the best place right now, where she's getting monitored and getting IV fluids and antibiotic. You sound like a great mom, and you're doing everything possible for your cat. I wouldn't stress too much. Give it a few days for the antibiotics to kick in and for her to get rehydrated.
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.
Avatar n tn 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.
1232362 tn?1333135406 Remember the whole Spirit & Bob saga: Spirit got the UTI and then URI, my other 2 got the URI, bot Bob got pneumonia-then everyone finally recovered nicely. This afternoon, Spirit's sneezing again and looks like the start of a stuffy nose-just how the virulent URI started last time!!! What happened?? She still has a great appetite and her eyes are bright and clear-is it possible she just has allergies? I hope this whole thing isn't starting all over again-HELP!
