I've been doing some research on RSV. I found a site www.rsvshield.ca , along with the sites that Lisa*9 and BBK provided, there is some useful information. http://www.rsvprotection.com and... http://www.rsvinfo.com/

Monica does Caleb still have a sniffle?

yes he does..I think this is week 3 with the stuffy/runny nose. Its not getting worse but its not going away. I a have ran out of options and I just dont know what to do. Chelsey- never heard of injections for RSV, do you live in Canada?

Yeah, I do. Apparently the injections are meant for preemies born in July and on. My daughters Dr. is a Specialist in Childhood diseases, but she wont see Gabriel until I get a referal. She would know lots on this subject, if I can ever get close enough to ask her! try saline nose drops for Caleb. I used to use them with my daughter. Its a combination of salt and water. The salt helps to dry up the boogers, and runny nose. Its a great alternative for adults too, who have nasty nasal colds! You can make your own too... 1 part salt to 3 parts water.
