I am beginning to believe I have the virus as well. I have not been exposed to many sick children could the virus make me extremely ill as well? I have had a terrible cough stuffy nose, sore throat, achey, chills, fever. Could i get pneumonia from this? I know babies can (my baby has it and is being treated and closely monitored) I am very concerned as I was having chest pains last night and my lungs are burning. SHould I see my dr? I am a smoker (outside only because of the baby) I have tried 3 times to quit without results including using medications to help.

i'm sorry your infant is ill and contained in the well being center. My infant develop into contained in the well being center for 6 days with RSV even as she develop into in hardship-free words 3 weeks old. She did not dehydrate, so there develop into no elect for an IV. the rationalization she stayed in see you later develop into because her oxygen aspect kept falling so she develop into placed on oxygen for 2 days, and her carbon dioxide aspect develop into higher. After she develop into waiting to get her oxygen aspect up, and shop it up for twenty-four hours, we were waiting to bypass abode. Her carbon dioxide aspect fell as her oxygen saturation aspect rose, so no different treatment develop into necessary for that. as far because the nebulizer, she in hardship-free words necessary one treatment contained in the well being center and upon discharge her lungs sounded sparkling (she develop into coughing up the mucous without difficulty) so we did not elect to take a nebulizer abode with us. Our pediatrician, and the nurses, all informed us that with RSV there are oftentimes 6 undesirable days, with days 3-5 of having the virus being the more serious. with slightly of success your infant will incredibly rehydrate and could no longer elect to be hospitalized lengthy. My older daughter develop into hospitalized for dehydration very last Nov and in hardship-free words necessary to be in there in one day. babies are not uncomplicated, your son must be basically nice momma. Take care.
