Can A Child With Bronchitis Fly?
should a child (2yo, 24lbs) with bronchitis fly on a plane? she s had a fever for 3 days(been taking tylenol), started abx yesterday after going to doctor. her activity level hasn t changed, just a steady fever (~100) and cold symptoms. we re scheduled to fly tomorrow and be gone for a week. just wondering if flying and change of environments could worsen her bronchitis.

There is no problem in the child with bronchitis undertaking air travel. Just ensure that his nose is not blocked, fever is taken care off and child is not having any breathing difficulty. You may nebulize the child with levolin respules just before starting the journey or a short course of oral steroids may help to control the inflammation. Consult the paediatrician.
