RSV can cause coughs and colds which develops to bronchiolitis in some babies – this can be severe in some cases
As we enter the colder months of the year, parents of babies and toddlers should be aware of the effects of Respiratory syncytial virus RSV is a viral infection which for most children will manifest as a case of the sniffles, but it can be more harmful for babies, particularly little ones who were born prematurely. 1 mum's post warning post on Instagram has this week gone viral as she makes it clear how easily it can spread.
It can also be spread when a child has direct contact with the virus, including if someone who has RSV kisses the face of a child. A child could also catch RSV if they touch a surface which has the virus on it – like a doorknob – and then touch their face or puts their hands in their mouth. When should parents be worried? Most cases of RSV can be treated at home but if you are worried about your child's cough or cold, you can ring the non-emergency NHS service on 111 or give your GP a call.
