Don't let our current warm weather fool you - cold and flu season is already upon us. Doctors are on 'alert' as hospitals are seeing an early reemergence of winter viruses, especially among children.
"Not only quite a bit more RSV, but quite a bit more of the other standard winter viruses as well," Dr. Schroeder said. "Something called rhinovirus is something we've been seeing for a good six weeks or so. And then the RSV surge has really been the last couple of weeks."
Dr. Schroeder says parents need to look for common symptoms of RSV such as coughing and runny nose and more serious symptoms like trouble breathing."We need to be aware that it's RSV and not something else," Dr. Gandhi said. "We need to test, we need to think about it and think about the extremes of age being the most susceptible - often children who are immunocompromised are more susceptible.
Taking precautions like proper handwashing and testing, as well as getting a flu shot can make our winter better.If you're on the ABC7 News app,
