Did you know that almost all children get respiratory syncytial virus (or RSV) at least once before they are 2 years old? Older children—and even adults—can get RSV, too. For most healthy children, RSV is like a cold. But some children get very sick with RSV.
Join host Dr. Jennifer Shu, medical editor of HealthyChildren.org, and her special guest expert, Dr. Anna Zimmermann, as they discuss the diagnosis, treatment and management of RSV. As a pediatrician and neonatologist, Dr. Zimmermann was very familiar with RSV. When RSV hit home, however, it was a difficult time for her and her family. She was thankful to be armed with information and support. Now, she’s sharing her personal story to empower others.
