Fox News
Cases of RSV among kids are driving up hospitalizations at two children's hospitals in Boston, leading to capacity issues and delaying non-emergency procedures for some patients.
Massachusetts General for Children, located in Boston, said that in the first 10 days of November there have been more than 1,000 reported cases of RSV. In the entire month of October, there were about 2,000 reported cases of RSV. "The younger you are when infected, the more likely you are to have a more acute presentation." "If at any point it looks like your baby is not breathing well at all, just bring them right to an emergency room." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
