How Chicago parents can tell

  • Runny nose and congestion
  • Wheezing or fast breathing
  • Persistent wet cough
  • Poor feeding in babies

RSV looks like a cold in older kids but hits infants hardest, and it spreads for three to eight days.

Everything on this page comes from Chicago parents logging what their kids actually had, stripped of anything identifying. Nothing shows up until at least two families report the same thing, so one sick child never puts a school on the map.
