Anyone had RSV?

Henry has it, and seems to be getting worse, not better. We went to the doc yesterday and have an appt at 8:00 in the morning. He coughed so hard a little bit ago he puked. I hate the wheezing and the coughing. I get so scared for him. He is pitiful. ANy experience? Tell me it gets better soon.

Yes, my LO had it mid-December. Expect lots of mucous, cough, wheezing, and some fever. There can be some vomiting from all the coughing and mucous. I will say Day #5 is the worst as far as wheezing/breathing, then it tends to get better from there. The cough can last up to 2 weeks though, but kiddos will be acting and eating better. The key is fluids, whether it be BM, formula or pedialyte. Watch the wet diaper. Most babies end up in the hospital b/c of dehydration and respiratory distress. Is he doing breathing treatments? That's all you can pretty much do. The older they are the better they can handle it, but RSV sucks in general. Good luck momma!

Thanks, we are doing treatments every 4 hours. His appatite has decreased but he still has wet diapers for now.
