Stitch with: @parents 🚨 RSV cases are rising as expected seasonally across the southern, central, and eastern U.S. Bringing back this reel from October—and RSV season typically stretches from fall to spring. 🔍 Common RSV Symptoms: - Mild fever 🤒 - Coughing 🤧 - Runny or stuffy nose 👃 - Decreased appetite 🍎 -Breathing difficulties While many kids experience RSV as a mild cold, it can cause serious breathing issues—especially in babies and toddlers. 🏥 RSV is a leading cause of bronchiolitis, where the small airways in the lungs become inflamed and congested, making breathing difficult. 💡 What to Expect: Some babies and toddlers with RSV can develop Bronchiolitis symptoms around days 3–4 🗓. Breathing problems or dehydration may not show up immediately, so it’s crucial to monitor closely even if symptoms seem mild at first. 👉 What Parents Need to Know: There’s no way to predict if your child’s RSV will progress to bronchiolitis—it’s all about keeping a close eye on them. If you notice any labored breathing, flaring nostrils, blue lips, or fewer wet diapers, seek medical care right away. 📹 Want to learn more?
