Understand more about the disease
Acute viral bronchiolitis, according to the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, is an infection that affects bronchioles – small airways in the lungs – and is generally caused by respiratory viruses.
The main causal agent, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the respiratory syncryritic virus (VSR), responsible for over 70% of cases. Other viruses, such as human rhinovirus, can also trigger the disease.
Bronchiolitis prevention involves measures such as washing frequent hands, avoiding contact with infected people and the maintenance of well -ventilated environments. Breastfeeding is also a protective factor, strengthening the child’s immune system.
The treatment is generally supported, focusing on the relief of symptoms. The maintenance of adequate hydration and the cleaning of the airways with saline solution are recommended measures. In more serious cases, hospital support such as oxygen therapy can be requested. It is important to note that antibiotics are not effective since bronchiolitis is caused by viruses.
Children with risk factors, such as prematurity or congenital heart disease, should receive particular attention as they are more likely to need hospitalization.
