Bronchilitis

my little one has bronchitis. Hearing her wheezing and heavy breathing breaks my heart. Since its viral, no meds can be given. Any tips for getting through this? We're been under the weather since Monday.

  • Oh been there. When my baby was 3 months :( it was heartbreaking. Just normal saline in nose and suction to help with the breathing. Especially before feeding so your little one can breath as drinking/chewing. Keep an eye on her breathing. Rarely they can have difficulty breathing and u must go
    to emergency. But that's rare. Didn't happen with me but doc said to watch for it in case it's one of the rare ones. Don't worry. It sucks but it passes. Cough can last for a long while after. Day 3/4 is the worst than it gets better but very slowly. U r almost there! Good luck.
  • Warm air humidifier, elevate crib mattress in one end a little bit and put baby vix on bottom of feet.
  • Loading the player...
  • And lots of fluids (breast milk/formula)
