- Bronchiolitis is a common viral infection that affects the lower respiratory tract of infants, caused primarily by respiratory syncytial virus. It presents with cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing and is usually self-limiting. - Treatment focuses on supportive care like fluids, oxygen therapy, and monitoring for dehydration or respiratory distress. Medications like bronchodilators or antibiotics are not routinely recommended. - Hospitalization is considered if the infant has toxic appearance, poor feeding, respiratory distress, apnea or hypoxemia. The clinical status, fluid balance and oxygen levels should be closely monitored.
