Bronchiolitis treatment in Lerma

Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection that inflames the bronchioles, the smallest airways of the lung, and it affects mainly babies and young children, generally due to viruses.

Common symptoms: Cough, nasal discharge, rapid or wheezing breathing, and, at times, difficulty feeding due to congestion.

When to see a doctor? Fast or labored breathing, the sinking-in of the ribs when breathing, a bluish coloring, or refusal to feed are warning signs that require prompt care.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician guides the initial management and the pediatric pulmonologist provides support in the cases that warrant it. In the case of signs of breathing difficulty in a child, the appropriate thing is to seek medical evaluation without waiting.
