  Bronchiolitis, typically caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, is characterized by terminal bronchioles and alveoli inflammation. This inflammation leads to airway obstruction, resulting in breathing difficulties and wheezing. It is most commonly observed in children under the age of 2. Children with bronchiolitis often exhibit a respiratory rate exceeding 50 to 60 breaths per minute and an elevated heart rate. Fever may or may not be present; in cases where it is, temperatures can spike as high as 41°C. The onset of bronchiolitis usually mimics symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, such as coryza, lasting 1 to 2 days. These initial symptoms then progress to wheezing, coughing, and rapid breathing (tachypnea). More severe manifestations of bronchiolitis encompass lethargy, signs of dehydration, notable use of respiratory accessory muscles like intercostal and supraclavicular retractions, head bobbing, and nasal flaring. The predominant causative agent for...
