A member asked:

Can you tell me how dangerous is it for a 4 month old to have bronchitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Keith Ramsey answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Adolescent Medicine

Common: About 80% of babies get bronchiolitis during their first winter. It is usually tolerated well at 4 months. Sometimes it needs medicine, sometimes oxygen, sometimes hospitalization. Watch for symptoms of struggling to breath and follow up as the doctor tells you.
