Send a text...we would love to hear from you! RSV is usually a seasonal disease, the CDC says, causing illnesses in the US between October and April, with the largest wave coming in December or January. RSV is the most common cause of hospitalization in children under age 1 year. Two to three out of every 100 infants with RSV infection may require a hospital stay. Those babies may need oxygen to help with breathing or IV fluids if they are not eating or drinking. Most of these children get better and can go home after a few days but some do not… 10-month-old infant who was born prematurely at 30 weeks’ gestation. She has a history of chronic lung disease.
