What respiratory disorders are prevalent in pediatric patients?
Respiratory disorders are a significant concern in pediatrics. Conditions such as [asthma](), [bronchiolitis](), and [pneumonia]() are commonly encountered. Asthma, characterized by chronic inflammation of the airways, requires long-term management with inhalers and avoidance of triggers. Bronchiolitis, primarily caused by the [respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)](), often affects infants and can lead to severe respiratory distress. Pneumonia, an infection of the lungs, can be bacterial or viral in origin and requires appropriate antimicrobial treatment.
