Patient's question:

What are the symptoms of pediatric mumps orchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Bronchiolitis is a common acute upper respiratory tract infection in children. It is different from typical tracheitis or bronchitis, and its clinical symptoms resemble pneumonia but are primarily characterized by wheezing. Bronchiolitis commonly affects infants under one year old and is a very critical condition, often prevalent during winter. Initially, the affected child may exhibit symptoms similar to a common cold. After 2-3 days, symptoms such as dry cough, rapid coughing, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, refusal to eat, and bluish lips and tongue may appear. Additionally, the child may become drowsy.
