Happened to my 17 month old son last week and it was terrifying. He was on constant albuterol through an oxygen mask for about 24 hours after being rushed via ambulance from the pediatrician to the childrens ED. He was released the next evening and is doing really well now. He did not have Covid, not even RSV or anything else like that. It was just the damn Rhinovirus.

Scary couple of days for sure.

My friends 7 week old nearly died 3 weeks ago from rhinovirus. His O2 when they got to childrens was 82%. He was on something like 22 liters per minute of oxygen by high flow nasal cannula to keep his oxygen level up. Spent a week in the hospital half in the PICU. His spit was basically carbonated they pumped him so full of oxygen. Super scary, and both parents are healthcare workers, so it was recognized quickly that he was sick.
