A common respiratory virus that can make kids (and some adults) severely sick is concerning doctors because it emerged far earlier than usual this year and is already filling up hospital beds across the country.
Pediatric hospital bed capacity is already strained in nearly a half-dozen states because of the atypical influx, doctors say. And with many now conditioned to assume any cold-type ailment is likely COVID or the flu, pediatricians -- and the CDC -- want to be sure parents know about RSV, how to identify symptoms in your child and what to do about them.
