4. Low Activity
A parent can monitor their baby's health by noticing when their infant is particularly sluggish. Babies with RSV may sleep longer than usual and struggle to wake up. When awake, a baby may not respond to sounds and sights that would normally interest them.5‘Default - Stanford Children’s Health.’ Stanford Children’s Health - Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford, www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=behavior-changes-90-P02663.
A baby with RSV may only show a few signs of illness, including lethargy. But there are further symptoms that could indicate that the infection could be more serious.2‘Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 9 Jan. 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/respiratory-syncytial-virus/symptoms-causes/syc-20353098.
