and keeping people who are ill or have any cold-like symptoms away from the baby” will be helpful. “It really is best to try to keep the baby away from people in those first months of life if they could be transmitting viruses. Don’t encourage a crush of visitors.” If your baby develops signs of parechovirus, or you simply feel like something is not right, experts say you shouldn’t wait to check in with a doctor. “If your gut is telling you something is off with your baby, it’s incredibly important to reach out to your pediatrician,” Dr. Fisher says. She says doctors need to “trust mom’s and dad’s guts,” so you should feel empowered to speak up.
Recovery from parechovirus really depends on how sick your baby gets. “Most babies will recover from respiratory symptoms in two to three days and have the rash and fever go away in two to four days,” Dr. Michelow says. If your child develops more severe complications, he says recovery could take longer, which is why it’s crucial to seek out an expert opinion sooner rather than later if you can.
