Answer:

Explanation:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a respiratory illness of nose, throat and lungs which commonly occurs in infants at young chronological age of ≤12 weeks. This RSV virus is easily transmitted if the child is crowded with children or have siblings. It is mentioned that the child’s 4 years old sibling goes to day care and may have brought the RSV infection. This RSV infection causes cold symptoms followed by bronchitis or pneumonia. The cold symptoms exhibited by the child include fever, cough, congestion, sneezing, poor breastfeeding etc. When the infection runs deep after few days, it shows lower respiratory tract infection i.e. bronchitis symptoms. The symptoms of bronchitis include fast breathing, wheezing, belly breathing or tugging between their ribs due to intercostal retractions. The complete course of infection lasts an average of 5-7 days.
