baby has cold sweats (has bronchiolitis).?

Accepted Answer

Fever?: Fever can be associated with viral bronchiolitis.  If your baby is uncomfortable you could consider some tylenol (acetaminophen). 
Sweating is a natural way for our body to cool because the moisture evaporates from the skin. I would ask you to look carefully at your baby to make sure that he is not sweating due to exertion from breathing. If he is not working hard to breathe, then i would support him to wellness.
