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.

Please rephrase...: Your question is not clear. Cold sweats do not go hand in hand with bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis is a viral infection that causes inflammation and mucous plugging of the lower airways usually in children undrer 2 years of age. It is possible that you can have bronchiolitis and fever and as you are breaking the fever the child can have a cold sweat...I am stretching here though.
