No it’s a lot worse than a bad cold, especially if the child has any history of asthma or reactive airway disease. Over the last week and a half we’ve had to transfer 4 kids to pediatric ICUs due to persistent bronchospasm that this nasty little bug causes.
Bronchospasms ? Think I caught this back in the spring. Was on a greyhound bus with a sick person out of Long Beach who had a long phone conversation with a friend while he was obviously sick. Had those bronchospasms for a couple of weeks. They were nasty. Felt like you could not breath during the spasm. Voice was horse for weeks too. Never ever had those spasms before my entire life.
