Has anyone had a baby with RSV? What were the symptoms? I'm starting to psych myself out bc her cold isn't getting any better. She doesn't have a fever or anything and she isn't wheezy, but she's sneezing and coughing a lot and she isn't sleeping well. She's also teething so she's super angry. When she gets really excited she has to take a minute to catch her breath, but she also has a heart murmur so that's somewhat normal.
@santistevanmommie yes! She has a tooth making its way through. I think that's part of why she's coughing so much. She's got SO MUCH DROOL. that mixed with the congestion which doesn't sound nearly as bad anymore.
It might be. You also said she was teething right?
Well when caleigha is teething she gets cold symptoms. Runny nose, congestion, and coughing.
@valentinasmommy @santistevanmommie so I've been checking on her every 30 minutes and I haven't seen her head move or anything except for just that once. I've been giving her zarbees and I think it's helping. She's up now and she's coughing a bit but doesn't sound bad and she ate just fine for the second time. No sneezing or runny nose and she's super happy too! Not mucus either. My boyfriend swears up and down it's just a cold.
They admitted my son we stayed in there for two and a half weeks they isolated him away from other babies we had to wear mask and gloves and a gown. They should admit ur Lo especially if there congested cause it affects there breathing and respiratory... depending on how bad ur baby is cause they also can put them on breathing machines to help them breathe..
The 1st time I went to the hospital they didn't do nothing. They just released us and said it takes 2-4 weeks to clear up. But two days later that we went. They gave us a nebulizer and some medicine.
@dreeex will they do anything for her if she tests positive?
@scurlock.mommy, they first put a strip in her nose to get mucus that was for the flu. And it was negative so they said they were going to test for RSV. So the nurse suctioned her nurse and they used that mucus.
Ask them to test ur LO they put a sunction in there nose and sunction out mucus and test it.. it is uncomfortable for them
My son got released from NICU with RSV it's like a cold to them, very congested and cough.
@valentinasmommy how do they test for it? Do they have to take blood or anything? 😕
That is a symptom too. Maybe have her see her dr
@santistevanmommie I just checked on her and her head is going back and forth, but her breathing is normal.
Last week my daughter started to get cold symptoms, she was only congested. 3 days passed by and the cold never went away. She started to cough and everytime she would cough she would get really red as if it was hard for her to breath when she coughed. So we tooked her to the hospital. The first thing they did was test for flu and it was negative. But she wasn't wheezing or anything. And thank God doctor decided to test RSV. And it was positive. 2 days later we had to take her back again because she started to get fever and the symptoms weren't going away.
So just be careful not all babies show the symptoms. Take her to her pediatrician.
Look at her tummy. When she's breathing does her belly suck under her ribs? That's a symptom. Also when she's sleeping does her head rock back and forth as she's breathing
So lemme get this straight ML is made at @aliciaandray because she referred to her n her dude as colored?????? Yet she has a different shade as well so she in the coloring box too so what's the problem did she call y'all kids colored or anything??? I'm confused as to y so many ppl care low key

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol

My baby girl has gotten so fat. She was just in preemie clothes now she's outgrowing her newborn

Does this look like a dog? If so, what kind? Someone posted it on a lost dog Facebook page and said that she is very skinny and looks like she's been on her own for a while. She kind of looks like a baby fox or coyote to me.
Oh yeah! That sounds like teething for sure! We used the zarbees and Motrin while teethingz
