Bronchiolitis

What is Bronchiolitis?


Bronchiolitis is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the small airways in the lungs. It is most common in infants and young children but can also affect adults. The infection leads to breathing difficulty, wheezing, coughing, and congestion. It spreads through respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes.

Bronchiolitis symptoms may include:


    • Persistent cough
    • Wheezing or noisy breathing
    • Shortness of breath
    • Fever
    • Runny or stuffy nose
    • Poor feeding (in infants)
    • Fatigue and irritability

Frequently Asked Questions


Seek medical attention if there is severe breathing difficulty, dehydration, wheezing that worsens, or bluish skin around the lips. Infants and high-risk individuals may require urgent care.

Yes, bronchiolitis is more severe than a cold. It affects the lungs’ small airways, causing wheezing and breathing difficulty. While colds mainly cause a runny nose and mild cough, bronchiolitis can lead to serious respiratory distress.

Bronchiolitis is caused by viral infections, most commonly the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Other viruses like influenza and rhinovirus can also cause it. It spreads through coughs, sneezes, and contaminated surfaces.

Treatment focuses on symptom relief. Doctors recommend hydration, rest, humidified air, saline nasal drops, and fever control if needed. In severe cases, oxygen therapy and hospitalization may be required.
