- Renee Roberts wrote about treatment for RSV-caused bronchiolitis. I never
- heard of this virus. How do you know if that's the cause? Is there a specific
- test? Alex too had bronchiolitis before age 1 (mild, no need for
- hospitalization or treatment!), and now has asthma at almost 3. I didn't even
- remember the bronchiolitis, or know the two were related, until we saw the
- allergist for asthma management; he noted it in the chart. The pediatricians
- never mentioned it. BTW, they also were reluctant to call it asthma unless it
- happened for more than one season. Well, since they ignored the bronchiolitis
- and another bout of wheezing at age 2... The allergist was pretty dismissing
- of pediatricians - said they don't like to say asthma when in this case it
- clearly is. Inspires such confidence in the treatment one's been getting :-(
