RSV????
From what I have read online, it seems that the symptoms are a lot like a cold.
How would you know if it was just a cold or RSV?
Grace has been coughing a little today and her breathing on the monitor now sounds a little loud like she is snoring. I don't want to be a worry wart. Any advice from BTDT moms? What should I be looking for?
TIA

Re: RSV????
This is what I said in another post today about RSV:
"Alex has had RSV 3 times now, though never so bad, and it never required a hospital stay. It usually starts out as a cold, but as the cold progresses you can actually "hear" it in her little chest. If I put my ear up against her back or on her chest I can hear her wheezing a little, as if phlegm is caught in there. We usually take her straight to the ped, and they prescribe a nebulizer, to be used a few times a day until it goes away. For daycare the doc gave us an inhaler that gives a quick shot of the medication, because the nebulizer takes time, and can be difficult."

Thanks for clearing this up. I did not see your post from before, as I just logged on a few minutes ago.
Poor Alex. I hope she is feeling better.
