What is Bronchiolitis?
• Bronchiolitis is a viral infection which causes the small airways in the baby’s lungs to become swollen. This can make it difficult for the baby to breathe.
• It is more common in the winter months and usually only causes mild cold-like symptoms.
• Most babies get better on their own.
• Some, especially young babies can struggle with their breathing or feeding and may need to go to hospital.
