rsv

Avatar f tn My 11 week has rsv .. He was full term .. Has any other mother had this in a infant ..
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 You are right. No treatment is necessary for mild disease. Some of the signs to watch for that would indicate your son is getting worse would include: increase in breathing rate or of effort to breathe, fever, poor appetite, and dehydration. If you have any question, call your local children's hospital and ask to speak with a nurse or a physician's assistant (PA). Your baby will probably be fine.
Avatar n tn The vaccine has been shown to be effective in preventing and/or reducing the severity of RSV infections and the number of hospitalizations each year. Infants who are a product of multiple births, have lung disease, low birth weight, heart disease, and those born prematurely are at a higher risk to contract a serious form of Resipritory Syncytial Virus.
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 My son had rsv and the hospital kept him and thankfully we were released in a few hours because his breathing was better.its scary to do that at home, honestly they should of kept him he's only an infant ! Please contact a doctor I honestly don't think he should be home my son was two months old when he had it, and my husband ask if we can go home with him and they told us some pretty scary stuff .
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...
Avatar f tn ve been reading your post and researching a bit to see if I can be of help, as your child sounds quite ill in his lower respiratory tract. The RSV can be a serious virus in young children. Were you told much about it? Did the pulmonologist (hopefully you're seeing a specialist!) explain why he/she thinks your son was having these difficulties? Usually a full term baby - even one with asthma doesn't have so many other respiratory disorders.
Avatar n tn For instance juvenile diabetes is thought to be triggered by a virus - the child was already set up to be vulnerable to developing it, they catch a viral illness and a few weeks later their pancreas starts to stop working and they develop signs of diabetes. Same goes with rsv, a very common respiratory virus that in infants and the elderly ( or immunosuppressed ) can cause them to be very ill.
Avatar f tn at the same time she complains pain in her palms and fingers. At time she cries in night in sleep because of pain. Got blood test her calcium and vitamin D is on border line .
Avatar n tn All of a sudden this week my toddlers gums have become inflamed and started bleeding. He had become extremely irritable at night and this started 2 days ago. Any suggestions on what could be going on?
Avatar f tn its the most horrible feeling in the world!! I lost a couple of pounds because of it and it really really ***** to have it!! I felt like I was dying.. I did EVERYTHING I possibly can to avoid it but in the end I ended up with it... just try not to leave ur house a lot lol I know its hard but it the best thing to do... and stay with ur hand sanitizer and Clorox spray but keep it away from u becuz it has toxins... just drink a lot of fluids and eat right.

1347128 tn?1333810296 her doctor told me to get a humidifier and put it in the same room as the baby and turn or you could also turn on the hot water and get it steamy in there while you have your baby in there and that could help also, i did both of those thing with her and it helped alot!! also use salt water and squeeze it up your childs nose and suction it all out and do that before and after feedings and before bed also and when your baby wakes up . if your baby does not clear up in like 2.
Avatar f tn I have a 2 yr old granddaughter who recently seems to be getting worse as far as temper.I thought she did these things only when she was tired,But know I am wondering.Her father is BiPolar what that brings to the table I have no clue.She seems to be a very smart girl.She says her name & can tell you how old she is ect.But she gets sooo mad at times she pulls her hair and even bites herself.????
306245 tn?1244384967 he was just a tad grey, not nearly as bad as he can get. there is no signs of any type of distress. I heard this could mean is blood vessels might be dialating and I was told it could be dangerous. is this possible. I am really nervous about giving him a bath his Primary docotr just took notes and put a call into his Cardiologist with no explaination for this. they are considering doing an event monitoring, due to him having questionable palpations and chest pain.
1274709 tn?1271647466 My niece is 14 months old, and she has yet to break a tooth through. She also shows no signs of breaking any teeth soon. Is this normal, has anyone else's child gone through the same thing?
Avatar f tn My grandchildren(2-3-4) were taken to ER cause of the same thing.Got this test and that done(no dehydration) and they said they had infectious diarreah.Not all the tests were back yet when they were told they could go home. Wouldn't ya know though..once they were in the ER they didn't all act sick.2 of them had spewed in the truck on the way there. They had been sick like yours for 3 weeks. Off and on this was going on.Gotta check back with my daughter abt the labs.
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 i went to mymonthlycycles and put in all of my info.......it told me that i should start sunday which is 3 days earlier than i had thought........i had a possible 26 pregnancy symptoms out of 32........this is a good sign!!!!!!!!!!
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 My son has been diagnosed with phimosis. He is 22 months old. The hole at the tip of his foreskin is only open about the size of a pin. He is in great pain when he urinates. His penis balloon's up and then he is able to go, but runs around the house crying and holding himself for quite a while before he will void. Putting him in the bath seems to be the only way to 'make" him go, but it is still very painful.
Avatar f tn I am just looking for some opinions. I have been doing lots of research in hopes of helping him in the interim year that we are waiting for an appt. and we do have another appt with the ped next week. I have also gotten him into a clinic that is funded by the Autism Alliance for an evaluation by them...although it will not be an official diagnosis it will help sort some things out, I hope. Thanks so much for reading and giving any input.
