Since I got pregnant, i started to love reading topics about baby. I just want to learn something out of it. I know it is for sure will be a very helpful thing to me and my husband. This is our first baby and we honestly are not knowledgeable enough when it comes to baby. We have to in order to give our baby an extra care.
I learned that if our little one comes down with a cold, we need to keep a close eye on her. She may have respiratory syncytial virus, a highly contagious illness that can lead to a serious lung infection. RSV send twice as many kids under age 5 to the emergency room and results in three times as many hospitalizations as the seasonal flu does, according to a recent study in New England Study of Medicine.

- It mimics a common cold. Kids with RSV have typical cold symptoms for the first few days (usually with a low or no fever) but babies may start to wheeze cough, breathe rapidly, or have trouble sucking or taking fluids. If you're at all concerned, call your doctor.
- It's especially dangerous in little kids. Children under 2 particularly those under 12 months who are infected for the first time, are more likely to develop pneumonia and wheezing. A baby with a bad case can be hospitalized for two or three days. High risk infants like babies born at 35 weeks or less and infants with chronic lung or heart disease may be candidates to receive monthly protective antibody shots during RSV season.
