RSV and Flu case

Cardinal Pediatrics Blog RSV and Flu case

We are seeing a rise in RSV cases. RSV can be very dangerous among young children. There is no vaccine for RSV. Protective measures include, washing hands thoroughly, masks, and adequate ventilation. Covering coughs and sneezes and staying home when sick helps reduce the spread of the disease. 
Parents should seek medical attention if a child is having trouble breathing, gasping and wheezing, or coughing hard.
