THE ANSWER IS A DEFINITE YES, YES AND YES. ADULTS MISTAKE IT FOR OTHER ILLNESSES. I had no idea what Bronchialitis/Bronchiolitis was until I ended up in hospital and was told that I had Sinisitus. The medication they gave me stopped a migrain type headache and opened the door to the real problems, the day after my chest closed and I could not breathe well. I then decided to visit my homeopath, thinking this sinus is out of hand. Boy was I wrong, it wasn't Sinusitus. He did a blood test and told me that I had Bronciolitis/Bronchialitis. Which he then gave me medication which consists of drops and tabs every hourly for a day then 3 hourly for 3 days. And told me to complete the course which is for a month and to stay out of the windy weather as it is most dangerous. But although my chest has opened somewhat this is when you feel worse than ever as you still have pain breathing, but also a constant burning sensation which feels like you are permanently having some sort of heart attack and you are feverish. You hurt all over and especially chest and neck area, and are extremely weak as this illness drains your energy completely. Slowly you start coughing and if there is any phlegm you need to spit it out. You need to stay out of contact of people as it is highly contagious. If you have a humidfier use it. If not boil a hot cup/pot of water and throw a towel over your head and inhale the steam. This quickly realeases phlegm and helps heal the Bronchial passage. All I can say is stay hydrated and good luck as I am still going through this, I am on day six.

Bronchitis in children is very different to bronchitis in adults. In children it is normally referred to as acute bronchitis or bronchiolitis (depending on if the larger bronchi or the smaller bronchioles are affected). In adults the condition is chronic (meaning long term and usually incurable), in children it is acute, meaning it is more sudden in onset and short lived (the child will usually make a full recovery within two weeks). The main symptoms of bronchiolitis are: * a dry cough * increased breathlessness * feeding difficulty (due to breathlessness) * More effort required for breathing * sometimes wheezing Bronchiolitis can vary greatly in severity, most will recover without treatment, however in some cases it can require hospitalisation if you are worried about your child take them to your GP as soon as possible.
