RSV and flu cases have joined COVID this winter — and the virus season is just beginning.
Winter viruses typically move east to west, Gesteland said, so Utah is likely early in its rise in cases.Utah's COVID hospitalizations rose sharply last week after a gradual rise through most of November.
But at about 27 patients per day, COVID hospitalizations are much lower than they were at the same time in 2021 and 2020 .Gesteland said parents with sick babies and young toddlers should visit a pediatrician if the child isn't interactive or appears to be feeding poorly, with few wet diapers. If the child is struggling to breathe — look for labored movement in the chest and abdomen, engaged neck muscles and any tinge of blue in the lips or tongue — head to the ER.There are antiviral treatments for flu and COVID, so getting tested could be helpful, especially for patients who have underlying health risks.
