 Acute Bronchiolitis
https://youtu.be/xUUdDw8zbvg Acute bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection in infants, typically caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It presents with cough, wheezing, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis is clinical, with chest radiography reserved for atypical presentations. Treatment is supportive, with oxygen for hypoxia, hydration, and respiratory support as needed. Bronchodilators and steroids are not routinely recommended. Palivizumab prophylaxis is indicated for high-risk infants. Bronchiolitis may progress to pneumonia, and severe cases can lead to respiratory failure. Monitoring for complications and providing supportive care are essential. Antibiotics are not indicated unless secondary bacterial infection is suspected. youtu.be/xUUdDw8zbvg&list=PLOlpsJ0eDlASRw1LywI2iGfzDTqxlAYFJ
