RSV is one of the most common respiratory infections to cause hospitalization of infants. About 7 of every 10 children will be infected by 1 year of age, and almost all will be infected by 2 years of age. Babies between 6 weeks and 6 months of age are the most likely to be hospitalized. Between 100 and 300 children die each year from RSV and its complications. In children younger than 5 years of age, RSV leads to more than 2 million outpatient visits and between 58,000 and 80,000 hospitalizations.

Fainting (also known as syncope) is common, particularly in teenagers. Though it can be a frightening event, the common faint lasts just seconds and is typically not a sign of a dangerous problem. The bigger concern is avoiding injury during a fall. Knowing the difference between a potentially dangerous faint and the more common, benign faint may seem intimidating, but there are clues that can help guide a family or provider to seek additional help and evaluation. See post for more details!

Some traditions--like taking kids for rides on the lawn mower--are just not worth the risk.
Instead, get kids involved in outdoor chores by asking them to plant seeds, pick up sticks from
the yard, and water plants!
