Pediatric Bronchitis

Pediatric bronchitis is an inflammation of the airways in children, usually caused by a viral infection. It often follows a cold and results in symptoms such as a persistent cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. While most children recover with rest and supportive care, bronchitis can occasionally lead to more serious respiratory issues, especially in young or immunocompromised children. Treatment usually focuses on easing symptoms and ensuring the child stays hydrated. Parents should consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen or if the child has difficulty breathing.
