If you’re a parent of an infant or a young child, you’ve probably seen the stories in the news: RSV is spreading rapidly, sending children to the hospital and threatening lives.

“Don’t panic,” says Nedaa Issa, MD, an Adventist Health pediatrician, of the advice she most often gives worried parents. “In my office, we’re often reassuring parents that RSV can just be a simple cold, especially if your child is healthy.”

So before you rush your child to the pediatrician at the first sign of a sniffle, take a moment to learn more about this common — and most often not life-threatening — condition.
