I almost didnt even notice, but thank you so much for normalizing breast feeding! ALL CHILDREN DESERVE TO BE FED WHEN THEYRE HUNGRY! Love it!
It almost makes me emotional seeing how nice this man is. The way he explains/helps/cares for his patients family as well as the patient is very heartwarming.
The best pediatrician wish you were in the chicago area. God bless you Dr. Paul, stay strong these days, we are all praying for you.
I super agree! I wish we had someone like you here in Chicago, Dr. Paul! I'm always here to support you in any way possible! Prayers and thoughts are always with you and your fights! Thank you for all that you do!
Agreed 👍🏾
He literally had his license suspended for endangering his patients and spreading misinformation.
Dalai, please, elaborate then. Where's your proof?

As a future Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, this video was truly very beneficial and educational.
Thank you Dr Paul and your whole team for taking time to educate us all.

These are excellent vidoes .
I’m a nurse, don’t have kids and I don’t even deal with child patients but I just love Dr. Paul! So knowledgeable and influential as to how I communicate with my adult patients and family members. I do have two six year old nephews and I wish Dr. Paul was their doctor.
my babies are sick too, hope everyone's feeling better soon❤
Hope your babies get well soon... Speedy recovery...
@@zainquadri1206 thanks so much❤ i jusy t got sick on hubby's birthday ,but the kids are doing well!
This is a doctor that genuinely cares about people.
Love how this doc takes the time to explain everything wish my doc does this…..
This mom is wayyyyyy cooler than me. I get so embarrassed breastfeeding in public. This woman doesn’t even use a privacy cover. Boss!!!
I also learned so much about RSV from this doctor. I never get this much information from my own pediatrician. Thank you!
I just had a friend post a video, showing her baby struggling with RSV. The struggled breathing was tough to hear. Poor baby was almost hospitalized, but thankfully it did not get to that point. Baby is fine now and doing much better.
I'm so glad to see you're back! Your patients are so SO BLESSED!
Feel better little one! Thank you Dr Paul! Behind you 100%!
RSV is so scary for parents of new babies. Thanks to the family for sharing their experience so we all know what to look out for!
Very helpful video thank you doctor!
I have 2 young children, both have been hospitalised with RSV/bronchiolitis/similar respiratory conditions, the eldest has an inhaler which he needs whenever he gets a cold, and no doctor ever told me you could buy a pulse oximeter for so cheap! I’ve just ordered one, wish I had it 4 years ago
The pulse oximeter you got does work for babies and toddlers? I got one work well for me but it doesn't fit on their finger
Depending on when your child had RSV, pulse oximeters just in the last 5 years or so have became a item that most could afford. I think once China started making them. I’ve got one now since it was $20 on Amazon
@@carolinebellon8438 if it doesn't fit on the finger, you can put it on the big toe
RSV sucks 😩
My kiddo got RSV bronchiolitis at 5 weeks old and it was the most brutal thing we’ve ever been through. I still remember his oxygen going down to 63 and I just felt like I was dieing inside. There is nothing worse than watching your little ones struggle.
He was only in the hospital on high flow oxygen and ng tube for 10 days but he was sick and struggled to breathe for months 😔
My baby had RSV at 4 months old. It was horrible. I was so unhappy and she was in so much pain. She was hospitalized for over a week. They treated this with the same precautions with covid. I couldn't leave the room. She was in an isolated room with clear lettering on her door that if you enter the room you will be exposed to her illness. We almost missed the Thanksgiving holidays with family.
DR PAUL! So glad to see your videos on my feed again.
I love your way with the kids and their parents, Dr. Paul! I referred my daughter to your channel so she can feel she's not alone in her beliefs on what is best for her children. Wish you were closer! (We're in New England). 😊🥰
My son currently has RSV plus flu! Both at the same time is hard! And now my daughter and I are also sick.. prayers for everyone who's sick
You’re such an incredible doctor! Thank you for these videos!
You’re the best Dr. Paul!!
I Was an RN for 30 years, I know a caring Dr. when I see and hear one ..🙏💜💜🙏
Our children have reactive airway disease and are very susceptible to RSV. My daughter was the only kid in her daycare room that was hospitalized (for 7 days) when all the other kids fared it fine. Watch out for RSV if your kids seem to be breathing faster than normal when sick, wheezing and/or retracting (the skin pulls in around the ribs). Those are distress signals and a dr can give steroids in more severe situations, like Decadron and Prednisone, to open the airways when the sticky RSV mucous clogs them up. They might also send you home with Albuterol and/or Budesonide airway treatments to do at home. Saline spray mist and cool mist humidifiers are great tools to keep the nose and throat clear of mucous so that it can maximize air flow and will not prolong the virus. A pulse oximeter is handy when the case is more severe. It’s good to know that if a child’s oxygen is borderline 80’s/90’s it becomes even more dangerous as oxygen decreases more rapidly over time whereas in the 90’s it is more a gradual curve shaped rate. Get your baby to a dr if you are in this situation, it should not just be monitored from home. Also chest percussions (cup your hand and pound lightly on the chest and back while your baby is sitting up) to break up mucous in the lungs. This should not hurt your baby, in fact my kids seem to like it when they are not feeling good with RSV. It’s hard to see your child feel so sick and a lot of work when it is RSV. Adults also can get worse cases of RSV when immunocompromised or have lung damage already but our airways are bigger so the threat of low oxygen is lower also. Take care everyone!
Thanks 🌼
Thank you for taking the time to type this up for us 🙂
Dr. Paul, I pray the Lord will guide you and put His hedge of protection over you. Thinking of you and praying for you, your family, practice and patients x
RSV this year is particularly rough. We had our 7th baby hospitalized at 13 weeks for oxygen and airflow support. He did great with the help and we were out in 4 days. It was classic for us with a day 5 peak. Our 4 yrs and 2 yrs old got it and rode it out at home well. But whole families in our community got it and even the adults were super sick for weeks. Thanks for the Info Dr Paul! Im sure it would be super helpful if you were able to show the infant head bobbing and chest retractions of rsv for people to be able to recognize when they need to go the hospital.
So excited to have found this channel! I am a mama and I have severe anxiety about my children’s health- in stressful situations I need this information so I can feel empowered. Thank you!!
What an adorable little boy! My son just spent almost a week in the hospital with these symptoms. I wish we had a doc like Dr Paul because we could have avoided the hospital with this level of office visit care.
Hi Dr Paul,glad to see your practicing
I am so amazed with how much information you give parents. I love that because every time I leave the doctor's office. I'm always looking up everything So I think it's amazing. You are arming them with all the information the good and the bad ❤ im very lucky that my sons doctor is amazing like this too! We need more of you!
We were so lucky with our 16 year old. He had never had pneumonia or bronchitis or whooping cough or any respiratory illnesses. He never had any ear infections. He was such a healthy baby. Only has had common colds./flu
Poor guy, hope he feels better soon
This was so interesting. I didn't know they could do a rapid RSV test! That's awesome 👌your such a cool pediatrician! There blessed to have u!🥰
Also thank you for teaching us how to read the pulse ox properly xx
I’m so afraid of RSV for my kids. I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old. Our 4 month old has a severe CHD and has been receiving the Synagis shots. We are more afraid of her getting RSV than COVID 😔
Luskily, I'd be willing to bet you're in the best economy RSV wise to have a 2yo and a 4mo! People are naturally staying home, keeping kids home when sick, sanatizing their hands, wearing masks (hopefully) and keeping a good distance! I hope you get through this tough time without catching either! Most love to you and your family
I have a 4 month old too, but she does not have CHD and I am still worried about RSV. My older kids go to school. I can't imagine how worried I would be if I had a baby with health problems. Hopefully both of your kids stay healthy.
Ugh my baby has RSV and we are struggling to keep him clear and comfortable I'm so afraid this is so helpful the health care system here is bad thank you so very much for so much knowledge and reassurance
watching this as I nurse my baby. glad she is still nursing because he is getting nutrients and snuggles to help him feel better. (and I also have the same comfy pants, lol)
such an awesome Dr! it makes me feel so good to see these positive interactions. this is healing in itself!
my Pediatrician was wonderful as well and the last Dr that I ever trusted. my interactions w/ medical Doctors since then have been vastly different in every way. looking back on it, being taken away from my Pediatrician's care at age 12 by a malicious parent had a devastating effect on my health, medical care and relationships in the many years since. it was traumatic experience for a multitude of reasons I wont go into. the point is- a good Dr is truly special and indispensable in life.
Wonderful explanation. I am 67, and from your descriptions, I think that's what I have. I hate going to the doctor, so this was so helpful.
"I have good news; your child has RSV." Really? That isn't good news. Good news would be nothing but a common cold. My daughter had it at 3 years old and has bad asthma. I caught it at 39 and it took us a month to get over it with multiple trips to the urgent care and a trip to the ER for me. She has RSV right now and is 4 years old. It is especially hard on her because of the asthma. We know how to treat it better at home this year, but it still took 3 visits to the urgent care with the doctors saying that it was just a common cold before they finally tested her for RSV. I have gotten really sick as well. Maybe worse than the RSV I had last year. RSV has impacted our family much worse than COVID did.
RSV is awful....I have it right now....COVID wasn't as miserable
I feel like I’m seeing sooo much RSV/Croup this year with the young babes. I hate swabbing them and hearing their coughs and breathing.
Love you Dr Paul!! You’re the best!!! ❤️
Remember your best friend Jesus is with you always!!!!
Wont laying them on their stomach and patting their back as much as you can help break up the mucus? Like several times a day. I also spray my baby’s sinus with saline and suck out their noses whenever they get runny/stuffy. I also try to give them elderberry and vitamins and keep sugar to a very minimum as well as give them fruits and veggies to keep them healthy.
My 2 year old Is just going thru !this praying he get! Better soon my anxiety is Going krazy this past 2 days. Prayers please
I would love doctor Paul to make informed case studies regarding his patients and to discuss the certain viruses and infections he comes across most throughout his practice he seems to always get RSV bronchitis common rashes but never goes into specific details I just think with his knowledge he should go a bit more in depth regarding his patients illnesses for example this patient with have also benefited from back messages regarding removing or clearing of the secretions from his chest
Love how amazing you are with your clients! We follow your plan and wish you were in our area so we could ask questions that come up! RSV is no fun for baby or parents-we had it when our boy was 11 mo and it was very rough.
My sons peds has a one swap test for flu A&B, Covid, and RSV in one shot!
It's probably not a rapid test though right? As far as I know, the RSV can be done with a rapid test, but Covid and Influenza A and B cannot. At least that is how it is in the hospital where I work.
@@Pearlyglitter I don’t think it was but it only took about an hour for the results. I liked it bc my baby didn’t have to go through multiple swabs.
@@coles5243 Ok, yeah I understand. Covid takes at least a couple of hours at my hospital.
@@Pearlyglitter covid tests in most other hospitals and clinics take about 15 minutes.
@@mcrchickenluvr Then it's probably a rapid test. We only use PCR tests at our hospital, and those take a bit longer, but are more accurate.
Our 4 year old had to stay in hospital for 15 days!! He was diagnosed with rsv+adeno virus.. his fever was out of control almost went upto 105F, the good doctors treated him with high flow oxygen, started antibiotics after a few days.. he is back home now..but really tired and have breathing difficulty, we are giving Albuterol (as needed) flovant twice daily.. his recovery is slow.. but thats the nature of this nasty virus.. kudos to phoenix children hospital and the support staff and doctor..
You have a full support from Serbia 🥰
Prayers and blessings go out to Dr Paul and the families and children of Dr Paul. You are a God send its no wonder those evil people try to get him blocked from practicing medicine.
Good timing. This is very helpful
So happy to see you're up and posting!
Thank you so much Dr. Paul for this very informative video! My 2 year old baby has RSV and she is having a very rough time! Her Dr. didn’t explain anything about this virus so I’m just trying to figure out what to expect! Today is day 5 for her and I feel is getting kind of worse when it comes to the cough and the congestion! Hopefully she recovers soon, it’s so hard to see her like this!
My 14 mo old and I just got over RSV and Rhinovirus..... vomiting nearly EVERY TIME she coughed. Had to starve her for a week on clear liquids only. It was AWFUL. Nothing we could do for her.
Oh my gosh! Poor little one! (And you parents, of course)
almost sounds like whooping cough
My baby has been sick, all she wants to do is sleep all day and berly eat 😩 may God heal all precious babies.
Dr Paul has reverse greyness! Instead of his hair turning grey around the lower part of his hair such as at the temples and around the ears and slowly going up, his grey is all on top of his head then his natural hair color is at the temples and around his ears. Very interesting pattern or grey!
Your such a great doctor 👨⚕️🙏🙏😆💕💕💐🇦🇺
Wow, mom is still nursing, that's awesome! Mine have always weaned between 9-11 months old. It's because I don't begin my cycles until fully weaned, and we're trying to conceive more :)
I wish You coul Be my Doctor !!!! I Love your Human feelings and Nice Personality
God Bless You 🙏
My baby had RSV at 3 months and it was scary. She didn’t drink much milk and I was worried about dehydration.
My peep had it at 2 WEEKS old (got it from his older brother). He was waaay too small and weak to cough out the mucus. He had to be hospitalized (with oxygen supply) for a week. He was even too weak to breast feed. I had to express the milk and give it using an easy-flow bottle. Now, THAT was scary! All those tubes and lines coming out of his tiny body... Now he is 9 months old and we still dread the smallest cough as it can easily develop into pneumonia and lend him back in hospital (happened several times). Eh...
@@kmalczewska oh that was so intense and scary. So sorry your baby had to go through tough situations. I think younger the kid is RSV can be more severe. Also can be harsh on the premature babies.
Is that your little one in your profile picture? If it is, shes so adorable!
Are there other similar physicians or NPs on youtube 🤔 I love this channel! I'd love to check out more if anyone can recommend.
My child 6yrs old.he had cough',cold since 15 days.
You are the best, thank you for the great information!
It may just be camera angles, I am not sure, but I assumed the child was 2-3 years. 😂 Thanks for the videos, doc!
Hey doctor Paul I heard from Dr. Zelenko that Hydroxychloroquine and zinc are also good for fighting off RSV.
Zinc and vitamin C is wonderful for RSV/colds even in kids it helps lessen the symptoms and shortens the length of the sickness
😂😂
You’re awesome Dr.Paul
Australia
Masks being worn in this video are inadequate as they let air in at cheeks. KN95 Masks are recommended here. Available Bunnings $2 for packs of 5. They totally close snugly around the airways and last approx 1 week.
Gosh, don’t want to let any of that air in so people can actually, like, breathe.
I had RSV as an adult about a month ago. I actually got it right after I had covid. They say that RSV in an adult is!"just a cold" but this was way more than a cold.
My 17 year old got it first. She was really sick. But we didn't know what it was. Then I got it. I was really sick too. I ended up on the ER and they did a respiratory pathogen panel. I tested positive for RSV. About a week after I got it my 14 year old got it and she was pretty sick too.
In our experience RSV was a couple of days of cold like symptoms followed by a 7 day decent into hell (getting worse) theb a 7 day trip back from hell. Finally wrapping up with 1-2 weeks of lingering sniffle and cough.
In my experience....for me RSV was much worse than covid (for me...I know covid is alot worse for for some than it is for me).
Hello. I have a question did your kids interact with each other when they were sick with the RSV?
@@hannahmorris7417 not really. But that was normal for them at that time. My girls are like oil and water. They get along much better now that the older one is an adult and no longer living at home
I wish you were our pediatrician 💕💕
Wonderful Doctor
I wish you were in NJ 😭 would’ve loved to have you as my kids pediatrician!
I thought if you had “bronchiolitis” that there was a wheezing component to it almost by definition.
Great informative video‼️‼️
Great dr. Man i wish they were all like that

Oregon And Northern States Have Nicer And More Caring People Then Down South
I wish more parents would get their child to the doctors and be tested.
I have a class of children that sound and look like this little one. I swear at least a few of them have RSV. They cough in each other’s face spreading the germs. The parents wonder why I put a mask on. Can’t say it’s because I’m tired of your child coughing in my face.
I lost my baby because the doctor here dont know what his true condition. They are so many speculation until my baby die…If im there i think my baby will be treated im sure…and the doctor will know my babys true condition… 😞😞😞
God bless you 🙏💔 I'm so sorry
Why don't we have these tests in the UK? 😧
Where is this practice?? I want my daughter to get my future grandbabies in. He better not retire!
You’re too late…
lol camera man is testing the limits of the boys comfort zone
I'm very curious, I was never vaccinated as a baby/kid from anything, I KNOW I had whooping cough. I'm now 44 years old, and wondering if there are any studies about if having whooping cough as a kid can affect people later in life like me (I have COPD and asthma) Just a curiosity question if you want to answer, if not, maybe point me to a few research studies? I can't find any online, it's all about kids instead of adult outcomes. Thank you Dr. Paul! You're an awesome doctor and I've still got my fingers crossed for you, I don't have enough $ to support you, but hopefully have been helping by subscribing and all that jazz 👍🔔 Keep up the good work!
Having had asthma since I was a toddler I’ve always been told that pretty much any mid/lower respiratory issues can lead to breathing problems later. I had RSV when I was a baby and have had asthma pretty much ever since. But there were some other factors there as well. The biggest one is that my dad smoked a lot and couldn’t always avoid me not breathing it in. Even if he stepped away it stayed in his clothes:
My son had rsv at 2 months old
And then I got it. I felt so bad😢
My daughter and I both had RSV a couple months ago. Yuck, that stuff is nasty.
Excellent URTI counseling
Love your videos
I had RSV at 45 years old I thought only small children got it but apparently immune compromised people and seniors can get it I'm immune compromised
Aww little man is sick … my grand babies have gotten rsv. But idk if rsv related - but now the both of them have asthma?
Our friends had a preemie 11years ago. She got vaccinated the first 2 years, but not the 3rd. She cought rsv and was on an ventilator for 6 weeks. We thought shed die.
I know how to feels to have a nose swabbed my mom tried to give me one but I didn't want it because it hurt
First seems like momma is having problems transitioning to a bottle 😂 My twins had RSV at 2 months old. My son went into the hospital and his twin sister went in on Christmas night. Both where in different rooms for a night, then put into rooms that wall could open up. Sister had to be med flighted to a Mott’s Children in Ann Arbor Michigan. Went into picu was in hospital for 11 days. We almost lost her it was so bad.
If your children stomachs sucks in with a breath and all the other things Dr Paul is talking about
Edited: while in hospital they put a rubber tub down her nose into airway to suck out the mucus it was so bad. To this day every time she gets sick it gets into her lungs, her brother usually if he gets a cold it’ll go to his lungs and he’ll sound croupy when he coughs.
I'm not sure, but I think another sign of low oxygen levels is discoloration of the nail beds.
What's the difference between RSV and bronchitis?
Why is a nebulizer with medication not prescribed to break down the mucus?
No DPT? Or does it not work at such a young age. Does anyone know? I know ribaviran is a miracle drug for super-sick kids with RSV
Can you give any antiviral meds for this or anything to suppress the symptoms until it runs it’s coarse?
I'm not sure about antivirals however when my kids had it they were given a nebulizer and albuterol
As far as I know that's pretty much all that can be done
Antiviral can be beneficial from day or 2nd day, otherwise it is not much of a help. Elderberry is very good and Olbas syrup.
There is a shot they give high risk babies to help with RSV. They are extra antibodies to help fight it. But this is precautionary
Hello Dr. What’s a normal breathing rate for a sleeping 5 month old ? My daughters breathing rate is between 20-25 bpm when she’s asleep and 30-35 when awake
My almost 3 months old is sick and im just watching to try to stop from becoming this... I have and oximeter that I use in his foot.
My son is 3yrs and rsv positive he is.with severe cough pls say some tips to make him relief
Got RSV when I was 7 months pregnant, not fun
