Does the baby need to be hospitalized for intravenous fluids due to bronchiolitis in both lungs

Patient's question:

Coughing, spitting up milk, and involuntary diarrhea every time you cough, with a temperature below 36 degrees.

Doctor's answer:

Bronchiolitis is generally caused by a virus invading the small bronchi. The severity of this illness varies greatly. If a baby develops persistent dry cough and intermittent wheezing 2-3 days after an upper respiratory infection, whether hospitalization is necessary depends on the severity. Mild cases can be treated with oral medication combined with inhalation therapy, while severe cases require intravenous treatment. The main site of bronchiolitis lesions is in the small bronchi of the lungs.
Don't delay treatment, as the condition can change rapidly. It's important to assess the baby's specific situation.
