Some states are seeing an unusual increasein cases of RSV. The illness is common and is the typical cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in kids under one year old.
Because RSV is a virus, there’s no direct treatment like antibiotics, which are for bacterial infections. The best treatment is rest and fluids, but parents should closely monitor their child’s breathing.

The couple welcomed Nelle in late July, making Gemma, Lane’s daughter from a previous relationship, a big sister.
“We are so excited and blessed to be able to welcome Nelle Eden Lane into our family!” the new dad wrote in his announcement. “Seeing Kayla hold Nelle for the first time was an amazingly emotional experience and she is already such an incredible mom!”
“Her biggest fan, however, may be her big sister, Gemma, who has been so loving and doting with her and can’t wait for her to get old enough so she can teach her all about the Avalanche Stanley Cup championship!”
