C1
  • noun
  • Difficulty of breathing
  • verb
  • To breathe with difficulty
  • Subtitles section
  • Almost a year ago, my daughter Harper scared the living daylights out of us.
  • Struggling to breathe, we rushed her to a GP who was fantastic, and then to hospital.
  • There, we discovered a scary combination of letters we'd actually never heard of before, RSV.
  • It's a respiratory infection, and little Harper was in a lot of pain.
  • Luckily, she was able to make a full recovery.
  • But in just the last 12 months, more than 27,000 Aussie children have suffered from RSV.
  • It happened to us, and it could happen to any parent.
  • Yeah, it's awful, absolutely.
  • Now, we're joined in the studio by Chief Paediatrician at the Sydney Children's Hospital.
  • Thanks so much for your time.
  • Just how common is RSV?
  • It's really common.
  • It's one of these common respiratory infections that happen all year round, but especially in autumn and winter.
  • And is it something that we're seeing on the rise?
  • We see it on the rise each year at this time of year.
  • So it's not an extraordinary year.
  • We see this and many other respiratory viruses, influenza, paraflu.
  • We're now familiar with all the names because we're doing tests of these more, but it's just the usual seasonal pattern that we're seeing.
  • I think the one hard thing for us is just how quickly Harper went downhill.
  • It felt like a normal cold or a flu, and then she just went downhill, and the breathing became laboured.
  • And then it got worse and worse in a very, very quick amount of time.
  • Yeah, so that's exactly what happens.
  • Most of these viruses just give kids a cold, sneezing, a bit of a fever, a bit of a sore throat, feeling unwell.
  • Some of them will go down to their chest and make them cough or wheeze or find it hard to breathe, or young babies will find it hard to feed.
  • And so while we can prevent these with some sort of strategies,
  • Like not sending your kids out when they're sick, washing your hands, washing toys, that sort of thing, most of what it is is managing that illness while your child's got it.
  • So if it's just a cold, that's fine.
  • If they start to have breathing problems, then you think, OK, how bad is it?
  • Have a look at their chest, pull their T-shirt up, have a look.
  • How quickly are they breathing?
  • How much effort are they putting in their breathing?
  • If you're a little bit concerned, you can see your GP or call one of the helplines.
  • But if it's really bad, you should go to hospital.
  • Some of the things here are, I mean, the elevated heart rate as well just scares the hell out of you.
  • But then it can happen outside of normal hours, so the GP's aren't there.
  • Some GPs, we had a fantastic GP, but some GPs won't be open and also they've got so much on, it's hard to get in.
  • So that decision for any parent is hard.
  • Am I overreacting taking the bub to an emergency?
  • We know in Brisbane it's even harder to get into an emergency at the moment.
  • Stacked with young kids, 30% increase.
  • So there are big decisions for parents to make, but it's the safest one, isn't it?
  • There are often really hard decisions to make, but I would say to a parent, trust your instinct.
  • If you're really worried, act on that.
  • Go to hospital now or call an ambulance if you're extremely concerned.
  • For things that aren't so bad and you're not quite sure, there's also the national helplines like Health Direct, where you can talk to a nurse and describe what's going on.
  • And in some places they can connect you to telehealth as well, where a nurse or a doctor can have a look at what your child looks like and what they're breathing.
  • So how do you do that?
  • Health Direct is the entry point.
  • That national collateral between the states is just a telephone line.
  • They've got a great website with good information on it as well.
  • You just call up and get advice from a nurse and they'll talk you through what's going on and help you make the decisions about how concerned you should be and where you should need to go and how quickly you should do that.
  • I guess the scary thing is the symptoms escalating.
  • It would have started off with cold symptoms and then it got worse?
  • It happened just last week too.
  • There's something obviously at daycare or whatever and she's picked up something else and she had to go to hospital on Thursday night and there's something else entirely.
  • So it's all similar, but it just freaks you out.
  • So there's a lot of it around at the moment.
  • There is.
  • This is the seasons of snot and colds and cough and wheeze and this is what we see most years.
  • But for parents this is the first time.
  • So it's going, what's their breathing like, how quickly, how much effort.
  • That's it.
  • If it's really bad, go to hospital.
  • Anything else you can do?
  • Is there anything else you can do?
  • Well, you can prevent these things.
  • And while there's not a vaccine for many of the viruses that are around and RSV1 is in development, there are well-established vaccines for influenza and influenza is on the rise.
  • So kids from as young as six months of age up to five get that vaccine free.
  • So uptake of that is really pretty low.
  • So that's one of the useful things you can do now.
  • You can do it today.
  • You can do it this week.
  • How do you treat it as well?
  • How do you treat it?
  • Most of the treatment for these things is supportive.
  • So if they're having problems with their breathing, they might need oxygen.
  • If they're wheezy with it in kids over a year of age, they might need asthma treatments to help open up their airways a bit.
  • But most of the treatment's supportive.
  • And they want their parents.
  • They want comfort.
  • They want cuddles.
  • They're unsettled.
  • They don't sleep well.
  • That's a big part of the treatment as well, just being there as a parent.
  • Mainly just their mummies.
  • Oh, Carlos.
  • I tried to muscle in, but she just wanted mummies.
  • She just wanted Chas.
  • How is she now?
  • She's good?
  • Yeah, yeah.
  • No, she's still got a couple of days later, three days later.
  • It's just constant now.
  • You hope that she's overcome the worst of it.
  • And there's just so much of it in daycare and around in society.
  • Anyway, I think she'll be okay.
  • Really appreciate the information.
  • Good on you.
  • Thanks so much.
