RSV

RSV Respiratory Syncytial Virus is related to the common cold.  Most children or adults do not have serious symptoms from the virus other than those of a cold.  However there are some who are particularly vulnerable.  this includes small babies up to ten weeks, babies born prematurely, infants with lung conditions and infants whose immune system is compromised due to a medical condition.  The virus results in trouble breathing, rapids breathing, cough, refuses to breast feed, and dehydration.  If your child is very tired, breathes rapidly, or has a blue tint to lips or fingernails medical attention should be sought.  Although there is no medicine for this virus, symptoms are treated and monitored.  This may include oxygen, medicines to open the air passages, and fluids.  RSV is also highly contagious so washing hands frequently is necessary.
