RSV: If the baby is wheezing, having respiratory distress or not eating well, the baby needs to be seen before Monday. What makes you think the RSV has come back ? Not something new?

RSV: Most cases of respiratory syncytial virus infection aren't life-threatening. If your child has a fever, you can give him or her acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) as per the dosage for the age of your child. Have your child drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Keeping your child upright and the air moist with a humidifier also may help ease congestion. Urgicare if severe symptoms. Good luck
