rsv can be very serious even life threatening. call your doctor or just take the baby to the hospital. this is a very dangerous disease.

Re: When to take a baby to the hospital with RSV?
Thank you for your answers......I took my son right away. He was in Peds. ICU for 5 days and Peds for 3 days. I have never been so scared in my life. He is all better now, it took him 3 weeks though. Thanks again.

glad to hear he is better! my daughter caught that when she was barely a month old. she was in the hospital for 5 days too. they gave her singulair meds for asthma. said it was a treatment that they started doing back easy and i noticed an IMMEDIATE improvement. Its so scary huh??

You cannot really know it is RSV unless they take a nasal swab and test.
