5 month old baby girl tested positive for RSV

What did your doctor say?

I know RSV in babies this little can be pretty dangerous. Use a humidifier to help ease any congestion and definitely monitor breathing. Use a nose sucker to help with congestion and you can get baby Vicks Vapor rub for her chest. Mommys Bliss is a good brand for cough syrup too, it’s what I use for my boy.

My son had it but he was four so it was more manageable. He rested and drank lots of fluids. He was prescribed something but I can’t recall what it was. I’m so sorry.

My 4 month old baby just got over RSV and pediatrician said the same thing. I gave her Tylenol and baths for the fever she made it through like a champ, only had 3 fevers over the 5 days and just has a little cough but not bad. I was up all night worried the first couple nights with her because of the fever.

I know mama, it is very scary. But hopefully she will get through it quickly and come out with a stronger immune system ❤️

Mine had a terrible cold and the congestion was sooo bad. We soaked in baths and I would hangout with her in the bathroom with the shower blasting on hot for the steam to soften all the gunk and use a nose sucker to pull the gunk out. She lived on me for 3 weeks straight contact naps, baths and lots of steam plus tylonal (as prescribed by her doctor) when she seemed extra uncomfortable.

If you’re breastfeeding don’t forget to give her extra kisses so your body can make the antibodies to her germs 😘
