A family on Long Island is sharing their experience with RSV after two of their little girls came down with the virus.
The normally active 3-and-a-half-year-old from Great Neck had a stubbornly high fever last month.
Her mother told Eyewitness News reporter Stacey Sager that Rose had tested negative for both COVID and RSV at first, but she had that gut feeling no parent should ignore. So, she brought her daughter to Cohen Children's Medical Center, where she ended up on oxygen in the ICU for nearly a week.It turned out to be RSV, despite the initial negative test. Rose is happily recovered now.
