What Is Bronchiolitis?
8. Prevention
The chances of your children catching bronchiolitis can be significantly reduced by taking precautions that apply to other types of pathogen. This includes washing your hands regularly, and especially before you touch your baby. You should also try and keep surfaces as clean as possible and also try and cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
Another way to help prevent bronchiolitis, and other diseases, is to breast feed your baby as often as possible to help build their immune system. Also try and keep them away from others who you suspect are ill. Some babies with certain medical conditions may be given medication to help protect them from the disease.
