Bronchiolitis is a respiratory infection of the small bronchi caused by a widespread and highly contagious respiratory virus. It is a common illness among young children during the cold season. Infants under six months of age are particularly affected.
A few days ago, the Ministry of Health launched the new national awareness campaign on bronchiolitis in infants. This disease affects 30% of children under the age of two each year and can have serious consequences, but there are also preventive measures and effective preventive treatment to protect your child. The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness among parents about the causes and contagiousness of this infection to limit the spread of the virus.
