Can bronchiolitis obliterans cause death?

Patient's question:

My son suddenly developed acute tracheobronchitis in children. The child is still young, and it is unknown whether there will be any sequelae in the future. Will multiple attacks of bronchiolitis be fatal?

Doctor's answer:

Bronchiolitis is mainly caused by viral infections. It can be treated with anti-asthma and expectorant drugs. The pneumonia vaccine can only protect against pneumococcal infections. Currently, there is no scientific evidence to support the use of colostrum to prevent the recurrence of bronchiolitis. At the same time, moderate activity can reduce lung capacity, and home oxygen therapy can slow the progression of the disease. Anti-inflammatory and anti-asthma drugs are used to treat symptoms of acute recurrence.
