RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they're 2 years old.

They're not usually serious, but babies under 6 months old have a higher risk of getting seriously ill as do young children who were born prematurely and babies and children with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions.

In babies, RSV is a common cause of bronchiolitis, a chest infection that can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

Symptoms of an RSV infection usually start within a few days of getting infected.

Most people only get cold-like symptoms, such as:

- runny or blocked nose
- cough
- sneezing
- tiredness
- high temperature

Babies with RSV may also be irritable and feed less than usual.

If RSV leads to a more serious infection, such as bronchiolitis, it may also cause:

- a cough that gets worse
- shortness of breath
- faster breathing or long gaps between breaths
- difficulty feeding (in babies) or loss of appetite
- noisy breathing (wheezing)

👻 Super Scary Halloween Treat Choking Hazards 👻

At Mini First Aid, we love Halloween as much as you do, but some Halloween treats like hard candy lollipops, popcorn, nuts and marshmallows are all choking risks and not recommended for toddlers and small children.

Hard lollipops and boiled sweets are a popular trick or treat gift but they can easily become detached from their stick and lodge in a child’s throat.

Nuts like peanuts/monkey nuts which are popular at Halloween are hard for small children to bite into and chew, and Popcorn with its sharp edges and kernel flakes can also be a choking hazard.

Marshmallows are sticky and hard for small children to safely chew. They can stick in a child’s windpipe and restrict their airway.

There is the added risk of your child eating these while running around, having fun trick or treating in the dark, not concentrating on chewing or eating, and you not noticing that they might be choking.

Stay safe this Halloween and keep sweet treats like this away from your small children and toddlers.

And have lots of spooky fun! 👻 🎃

Hello! My name is Elaine and I am your Mini First Aid trainer here in Bedfordshire. I qualified as a nurse more than 30 years ago and have had a long career in the NHS. I have spent those years working as a midwife, a neonatal intensive care senior sister and for the last 14 years as a health visitor. My career has involved me working alongside many thousands of new parents as they negotiate such significant life changes. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience at my fingertips to share with you! As a parent myself – of two- now young adults, I am passionate about giving children the very best start in life. I know first-hand how parenthood can throw the unexpected challenge at any time and so how important it is to have the knowledge and skills to meet those challenges. This includes how to manage crises or emergencies that could arise with you baby or child. Would you know what to do if your baby or child was choking. Would your child know who to ring if you stopped breathing? Also important is equipping your child to know who to turn to and how to raise the alarm should a grown-up need emergency first aid. I am confident that our Mini First Aid courses are just what is needed to support all parents, including new and parents-to-be, grandparents and all carers ensure their children get the best start in life and I am looking forward to bringing this service to families in Bedford and Bedfordshire.
