Great RSV at daycare....

So a child at our DCP tested positive for rsv. Now I am going to worry over every ailment DS gets.....

Is RSV a huge deal for older toddlers?  DS had RSV a week after starting daycare at 3 months.  It's scary in a tiny baby because their breathing looks so labored.

In older kiddos and adults, I think it appears to be just a bad cold.  I read that almost every kid has been infected with RSV by the age of 2.  I think its just the little babies that you need to be worried about.

For DS at 3 months old, we were in the doctor's office on a Friday when he got diagnosed with RSV.  He was back to daycare on Monday.

Yes your right it usually affect ages 0-2 and older adults. And the symptoms are just a really bad cold.

However, for us DS already does regular breathing treatments for respiratory problems. When he gets things like this it's VERY hard for him to get over it. I will just have to make sure he takes his vitamins and gets lots of vitamin C!!!

Oh gosh, I had no idea your DS has respiratory issues!  Yes, I see why you would be very concerned!

Lol of course you didn't know. I realize that for many with older toddlers it's NBD I promise I am not that mother who is a freak about any and all illnesses. Just the ones that I know will bother us.
