Viruses!

RSV season is here! Hospitals in at least 36 states are feeling the crush. Why is this happening? When children were isolated during pandemic years, they weren't exposed to common viruses like RSV, Flu, Parainfluenza, and Enteroviruses.

What is RSV? Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) affects the lungs and breathing passages. In infants, it can cause bronchiolitis (inflammation of small airways).

When to Call Your Pediatrician: - Fast or labored breathing (flaring nostrils, belly breathing) - Persistent fever - Poor feeding or signs of dehydration
