I completely understand how terrifying it is when your little one gets a fever from RSV. I was crying and awake all night when my daughter had it. Just hold them close, monitor the fever, and trust your pediatrician.
My niece had RSV last week and the fever kept us all awake for days. I think I've had less sleep than a watchman. Yes, fever is very real with this virus, so keep your coffee and thermometer ready.
RSV definitely causes fever as the body's immune system fights off the virus. If you are an adult dealing with a mild case, light walking inside the house can keep you active, but only if your doctor says it is safe.
Please do not ignore a fever associated with RSV, especially if there is coughing. My son's mild fever turned into severe bronchiolitis very quickly, and we had to hospitalize him. Go see a doctor before it escalates.
Yes, the body generates heat or fever to cleanse itself of the RSV infection. Let the child rest in a well-ventilated room and give them warm, soothing liquids. Consult your doctor for appropriate care.
