The viruses that cause bronchiolitis are extremely common and easily spread, so preventing the condition altogether is not possible. There is no vaccine, but there are steps you can take to help prevent your child from catching bronchiolitis or, if they already have it, to help prevent it from spreading further. You should:

• Try to cover your child's nose and mouth when they cough or sneeze.
• Use disposable tissues rather than cotton handkerchiefs, and throw them away as soon as they are have been used.
• Wash your child's and your own hands frequently, especially after touching the child's nose or mouth, or after feeding.
• Wash and dry eating utensils after use.
• Keep infected children at home.
• Keep newborn babies away from people with colds or flu, especially in their first two months or if they are born prematurely.

If your child is very premature, or if they are born with a heart or lung condition, it may be possible to for them to have monthly antibody injections in order to limit the severity of a possible bout of bronchiolitis. See your GP to find out more.

有派別說法可以使用洗鼻機,來作日常的保健。至於哪個牌子的洗鼻機好用，就見仁見智，通常一台堪上可使用的洗鼻機¹價格都在$3000塊上下（或者更多？）

國泰Dr.張兆良說小璐屬於氣管比較敏感.過敏的體質，只要天氣一變化都要非常擔心bronchiolitis發生，常常搞得媽媽很神經質。

自從經歷過險些住院套oxygen tent，慘痛的每一小時自主拍痰15-30mins、睡前吸terbutaline與生理食鹽水(1:5)、吃抗生素的居家照護，面對bronchiolitis，已經到了一種戒慎惶恐的心境，只要小璐好像有出現那些徵狀的樣子，就開始灌水.輕拍.洗鼻.保持整個環境空氣的順暢度（Honeywell開整天不停的轉）。與其說是媽媽膽小如鼠，不如說是捨不得聽到小小孩氣管可怕的呼嚕呼嚕聲，讓當媽媽的心都揪在一起啊。

*1.洗鼻機,坊間品牌很多,有大象機、蛋蛋機（同間公司,不同型號差別,我們家有的是後者）、脈動式鼻腔水療機(目前對這個很有興趣,很想敗一台居家保健）
