It's RSV season! 🤧 It's already spreading and we've already seem some babies hospitalized because of it.
Please don't touch or kiss babies that aren't your own!
RSV is most easily spread through mucus contact with eyes, nose, and mouth and little babies are most susceptible and most at-risk!
Parents, keep your baby close or wear them on your bodies in social settings and avoid passing baby around to others.
The most common symptoms of RSV include:
🔹Runny nose
🔹Fever
🔹Cough
🔹Short periods without breathing (apnea)
🔹Trouble eating, drinking, or swallowing
🔹Wheezing
🔹Flaring of the nostrils or straining of the chest or stomach while breathing
🔹Breathing faster than usual, or trouble breathing
🔹Turning blue around the lips and fingertips
Most cases are mild and can be managed at home with household remedies, but other more serious cases may need medical intervention.
RSV shares many symptoms with other illnesses. Please reach out to your healthcare provider for help and proper diagnosis if you feel the need.
