RSV BRONCHIOLITIS: Symptoms of RSV are: breathing difficulty, rapid/noisy breathing, low grade temp, nasal drainage(some), feeding problem with vomiting. Give small, frequent feeding, make sure s/he drinks enough fluid. Because of rapid breathing, infant is loosing extra water. Don't force to eat, if doesn't want. Use a humidifier/ vick's vaporizer, put saline nasal drop, 4-5 in each nostril and suck mucous.

Fluids: RSV is associated with mucus production and infants tend to swallow the mucus. This then irritates the stomach lining and can cause vomiting. As the RSV resolves this symptom should improve as well. Keeping the baby well hydrated, removing nasal mucus with a suction bulb/saline drops and using a humidifier relieves the symptoms.
