What Parents Need To Know As RSV Cases Surge

With RSV and flu surging alongside cold and COVID season, there’s much for parents and caregivers to think about.

Several respiratory illnesses in children are circulating, and more children are going to the hospital for them. The flu and RSV season are earlier this year, and cases are peaking now.

Cynthia Layton noticed her two month old’s cough and wasn’t taking any chances, as RSV is more severe in infants.

"We noticed that she was coughing a lot and had a really runny nose, so we took her in to the doctor and they tested her and said RSV," Layton said.
