What is the difference in bronchitis and broncholitis in a 5 month old baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Location: Consider the lungs as a tree, upside down.Bronchitis is at the main branches while bronchiolitis is at the smallest branches and where the leaves join the tree. The symptoms and effect on a small infant can be very similar, with bronchiolitis more likely to produce wheezing.
