Your child has a cough and may cough up a very sticky mucus. The average age is 6 months to 2 years. The most common complication of bronchiolitis is an ear infection. Some children with bronchiolitis respond to asthma-type medicines, but others do not. Continue the medicine until your child s wheezing is gone for 24 hours.
Dry air tends to make coughs worse.
Use a humidifier. Suction of a blocked nose. If the nose is blocked up, your child will not be able to drink from a bottle or breast-feed. Suction alone cannot remove dry secretions. Place three drops of warm water or saline in each nostril.
