Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Can anyone tell me what RSV is. Abd what are the symptoms? It is going around our state at the moment. Eilish and Liam are both not well this weekend, although I think Eilish is faking it. We have just had heaps of hail, which our gardens look white, so we went outside to take a photo. The kids think it's snow, having never seen snow before. I hope it stops as I am due to drive into town for dinner tonight while baby sits the kids.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 RSV is at it's worse pnuemonia as the broncial tubes swell .It is a Very Bad Nasty cold at the least.Rhinal synctial virus (sp?) .Rebekah had it as did 2 of my other (healthy kids it made them turn blue around their lips and fight to breath of course it happened during a blizzard) with Rebekah she had scarring of her airways and it took her 3 years not to be a wheezy baby it was nasty. I believe they have shots called synagis for preemies .Look in the archives for RSV the posts were older I'm not sure if we were at Yahoo back then but some of those files before we came here are in the archives.BeckyB.-Mama to 8-2w/cf and Nana to 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Respiratory Syncytial Virus. It is a lower respiratory illness that is dangerous to infants up to age 2 I believe. Older children and Adults can get it but it presents as a milder respiratory illness. Symptoms in babies are fever, coughing, wheezing in older kids it may look like flu or cold with respiratory issues. My daughter got the vaccine, synagis, last year and we have put in for it again this year. It is a monthly shot that they give during the late fall and through winter into spring. Hope this info helps. I know a lot of kids in our area are hospitalized with it each year and those are kids without CF. Good luck, Mom to Ellie 9mo /wCF and Jack 3yo /woCF RSV Can anyone tell me what RSV is. Abd what are the symptoms? It is going around our state at the moment.
