[quote=Anonymous]Fine, OP and PP's who can't google...The CDC says 3-8 days, so I'd keep my kid home 8 days from diagnosis. "People infected with RSV are usually contagious for 3 to 8 days and may become contagious a day or two before they start showing signs of illness. However, some infants, and people with weakened immune systems, can continue to spread the virus even after they stop showing symptoms, for as long as 4 weeks." [url]https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/about/transmission.html#:~:text=People%20infected%20with%20RSV%20are,as%20long%20as%204%20weeks.[/url] I'm a pp who's infant nearly died from it. Honestly, it's shocking and maddening how little pediatricians know about the risk. I brought my sick infant in and saw my ped's colleague. He said NBD. Thank god I ignored that @sshole. Hours later I brought my infant into the ER and they whisked DC away because DC didn't have enough oxygen. [/quote]
