Parents are being warned to watch out for certain symptoms as children are falling ill with a deadly virus.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is on the rise and new data revealed the number of children in hospital with the illness has surged in the last week. Medics confirmed that RSV has already caused the death of thousands of youngsters under the age of five.
Infections increased by 8.3% in the week ending October 30 as experts fear some young children may not have built up any immunity to bugs like RSV and flu. The UK Health Security Agency says not only have cases risen sharply, but hospitalisations have also soared, reported The Mirror.
