Tell me about RSV?

[2sunshines]

My family (including my children) came in close contact with a 3 month old that we found out has RSV.

My children are 2 and 4. From what I read, RSV is only dangerous to a young infant? Is there any risk to my toddler?

My dh and I can feel it coming on -- the throat closing, slight wheezing, but so far the kids are fine.

Should I be concerned? Is RSV in older children just a simple cold typically?

It's dangerous to young babies because they can only breath through their noses so when their nose plugs up they can't breath :( In all of you it should be more like a cold. ((((((hugs)))))) I'm so sorry. We went throught his with Aidan when he was a baby :(
