RSV is a respiratory virus which presents like a very bad cold, most common during the winter season. The younger the child the harder it is for the baby to compensate with so much secretions in the nose and babies being primarily nose breathers until around 6-9 months of age. So often these child end up being admitted to the hospital with a secondary diagnosis of dehydration as they don't eat well, until they start feeling a little better. RSV is not one to cause lesions that I have ever heard of. Also amoxil is not a drug used to treat generally RSV. It leads me to think that the child had some other type of infection concurrently with RSV possibly...like an ear infection maybe? Was this child admitted to a Children's Hospital or an adult hospital that also treats pediatric patients? If treated in an adult hospital they may well have prescribed amoxil for the RSV. Speaking from experience as I work in a Children's Hospital as an E.R. nurse. We see a LOT of RSV cases, I have never seen a RSV case cause lesions in the mouth though. It sounds like the child could have had a few things going on at the same time.
