Bronchiolitis is a viral infection that causes the small breathing tubes in the lungs to become tight, swollen and filled with mucous. This can make it harder for air to move in and out of the lungs. Bronchiolitis happens most often in children under one year of age, and is the most common reason why babies are admitted to hospital.
Below you will find resources to help you better understand, cope with and/or support someone with bronchiolitis.
