RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is a virus that leads to respiratory infections every fall but this year there has been a surge. While not entirely sure as to why RSV infections are on the rise it is believed that it is occurring due to the broad lifting of restrictions. But furthermore there have been kids born during the pandemic who have not had exposure to common viruses that they would normally be exposed to due to the restrictions that were in place. We were one of those parents and when Atlas caught it we were super worried for him. He was very mucousy with labored breathing and he had episodes of high fevers. Overall we were able to reduce his symptoms using some of the techniques I discuss in teh video and I also share tips on prevention as well.
