Symptoms of rsv in baby
Common Questions and Answers about Symptoms of rsv in baby
rsv
My eleven year old daughter has experienced odd symptoms from about four weeks of age. It seems as though she gets everything that comes along. We are frustrated to say the least. The list seems long:
-Elevated biliruben for 5 weeks at birth
-RSV and double pneumonia at 6wks
-ongoing colds and pneumonias (no less than annual) and strep rashes
-RSV at age 2 again requiring hospitalization
-Age 2-4 spontaneous vomitting on about a 30 day cycle.
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???
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.
I've never heard of that other than in dogs I raise dogs and unfortunately lost two about 5 years ago to parvo but we never got it ourselves.
I just had my son at 33 weeks 6 days. If anyone on here has had preemies before my question is how long after you brought baby home did you stay in the house? I didn't get a definite answer from my doctor or the hospital. He is now almost 3 weeks and doing well just above 6 pounds. I've heard other moms say right away is okay another said one year!!! I have errands and appointments plus my 5 year old has to be taken and picked up from school during the week.
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.
Respiratory syntactical virus (RSV) infection combined with a family history of asthma, increases his likelihood of having asthma. But the increased likelihood, due to family history, does not worsen the RSV.
Good luck.
has she had a fever or coughing??? if not then it might just be cold drs will worry if the baby develops a fever or bad cough.
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.
He was a very healthy child and he should still be alive. i just got the cause of death and it was RSV and pneumonia that took him from his family. Should the doctors have done a chest x-ray and blood work? should they have kept him in hospital due to already having a heart condition? Please if anyone can help.
Thanks everyone! We watched him for an hour & he wasn't acting like himself. He was breathing really weird and tough, and wasn't really moving to much, so we took him to the er, he had to get chest xrays. He was all stufed up and had to get the rsv test and they got a ton of Crap out of.his noise. They said he couldn't breathe out.of.his noise and taking in too much air thru his mouth. But he's all good now!
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 .
In the past week he has areas of petechia again, fatigue, pain and fullness in ULQ and as of yesterday, a rather large and tender swollen gland in right neck. No fever that weve noticed but intermittant chills w/joint pain, no sore throat or headache, eats very small amts of food due to full feeling in abdo. He has no healthcare coverage which is terrifying w/his health hx!
He has always been a little snorty/congested, but when he got a mild case of RSV in February the runny nose never seemed to go away. I have taken him to several allergists. He did have the skin test which came back negative. One doc. said he needed to be treated for nasal infections (each test seemed to show a different bacteria) but after several rounds of different antibiotics I didn't feel comfortable and left that doc.
having a simple clear runny nose and occasional cough that can be treated at home, to severe difficulty breathing that may require hospitalization. Other symptoms might include a low-grade fever, sore throat, headache, and irritability. Younger children, especially those under 2 or 3 years old, are most at risk for more severe symptoms, such as high fever, wheezing, difficulty breathing, a persistent cough, or apnea.
I hope this helps.
That's different from what I've heard. I had a friend years ago that was a "blue baby." I read that it's from a hole between the lower chambers of the heart which causes a mixing of the blood (oxygenated and used). I see it can also be from an aorta problem, the right ventricle being too muscular (hypertrophy) or pulmonary stenosis (the pulmonary valve being narrowed). Perhaps that what they meant by pulmonary problems.
I'm in the er with my husband & daughter. She's 6 months & has a fever of 104.2. I don't know what's wrong, but Def am scared!! Such a high fever for a little baby. I'm waiting for the Dr now.
If the pressure is high and the defect is smaller, she will likely not require surgery. However, if the pressure is low and she is having symptoms of getting out of breath or becoming sweaty with feeds, she will need some medications to help with these symptoms and may be more likely to require surgical closure of her defect.
