    Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), is a common reason for Hospital admission due to upper respiratory infections in young children. Dr. Sumit Sen, our Pediatric Hospitalist here at Sutter Delta tells us signs to look for, and when to call your Pediatrician. He also gives some useful tips on how to help prevent your newborn from contacting this virus.

    Call your baby’s Pediatrician if your baby experiences any of the following symptoms:

    1)     Fever

    2)     Not feeding as usual

    3)     Wheezing

    4)     Severe runny nose, cough, congestion

    5)     Decrease in number of wet diapers

    Dr Sen also provides some tips on helping prevent your baby from contacting this virus.

    “Keeping your baby away from anyone who is sick or has even a small cold is very important. A baby’s tiny nasal passages can become easily clogged compared to older children, so even a simple cold can put your newborn into the Hospital. Frequent hand washing is very important. Require anyone who is handling your newborn to wash their hands. If you have other family members that are ill, keep your baby away from them until their symptoms are gone. Do not allow any friends that are sick to be around your baby until they are symptom free.”

    Thanks Dr. Sen, for this helpful information.
