8mnth old girl flu,wheezing,laboured breathing,given prednisolone.+nebs with steroid and salb.now after recovery has recurrence.why?astma or rsvagain

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mechanical issue: Infants who have bronchiolitis/RSV will often wheeze intermittently with any respiratory virus for up to a year.This is thought to represent sensitivity/mechanical changes in the lung itself brought about by the original infection.Since 60-80% of infants who wheeze quit by age 5, trying to apply any label on this process is difficult.
