Canadianmumof5 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 UPDATE: see post #18 - all good. If u can spare a prayer.... She started a little cold 2 days ago but this morning had some wicked coughing fits to the point where she was choking on mucous :(. I nearly called 911 she was literally choking!!! Took her to see our family dr and after a consult with the hosp pediatrician - we are in emerg :(. They are doing a chest xray to look for pneumonia as well as a throat swab. Her oxygen levels are up and down (80-100) so not sure what that is all about :(. Thanks. Will update as long as my battery allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianmumof5 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thank you They just did a swab for RSV but i dont get what the point to that is?? If it is that, it is just a virus that you dont treat?? Confused. Excuse typos-baby iin one arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I googled RSV to remind me of details. If she has it and her O2 is that low, they'll probably admit her, give her an IV, some breathing treatments of some sort, maybe some oxygen or even a vent if her O2 is low enough.

staceyobu Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If its RSV, they will just treat symptoms. It will give them a definitive diagnosis, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Praying. When ds had RSV they admitted him for several days and he had nebulizer treatments and steriods and then came home on steriods and a puffer for a while. It's not the RSV itself they treat but the issues that come up because of it. They have to check that it is that first though, because if it is just croup or something it is not treated the same necessarily. You definitely don't want to be giving steriods and stuff unless necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Depends on the RSV severity and age of the baby. I've had two who were treated (symptomatically) at home. One was hospitalized on oxygen and antiviral medication for two weeks. She was preemie (actually, the other two were too) and still tiny (around 8 lbs). She had pneumonia and double ear infections.

Cindy in C-ville Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I googled RSV to remind me of details. If she has it and her O2 is that low, they'll probably admit her, give her an IV, some breathing treatments of some sort, maybe some oxygen or even a vent if her O2 is low enough. This happened with us when Grace was about 6 weeks old. Her O2 sat was at 80% and they put her in an oxygen tent for a couple of days.
