How can I prevent my child from catching bronchiolitis?
Respiratory viruses are spread from person to person through direct contact, and from toys and other objects contaminated with mucous and saliva containing the virus. Avoiding exposure to adults and children with colds, particularly in daycare and nurseries, can reduce the number of infections. Handwashing is the most effective means of preventing the spread of germs, including cold viruses. Avoid exposure to cigarette smoke. Breastfeeding also helps prevent infections.
