I took Max to the Dr. on Friday because his cough came back. Max has had a cough for most of the winter. The first time I took him in we were treating him for seasonal allergies. That was about a month ago. He got better for about 2 weeks. Last Saturday it came back. This time he had a runny nose and a little fever. I was hopping he would get better but he was still sick at the end of the week. This time the Dr. told me he is in the early stages of RSV. We have doubled his medicine. Max refuses to wear the mask for his treatments but he thinks it is really funny when he puts it on his stuffed animals.
From what I've read about RSV, he is going to be contagious for 3-5 days. He should be over most of the symtoms after a week but the virus will stay in his lungs for 6-8 weeks.
I can't wait for summer. This winter has been tough on him.
