Acute bronchiolitis is a common cause of hospitalization in infants under two years. We see these cases frequently in our practice, as pediatricians. Despite that, guidelines clearly recommend supportive care and to avoid unnecessary pharmacologic treatments. I present here a case of a 5-month-old male infant with moderate-to-severe RSV bronchiolitis. The patient was managed exclusively with supportive care including oxygen supplementation, hydration, and feeding support. This case emphasizes evidence-based management, careful monitoring, and effective parental communication. The infant fully recovered without pharmacologic intervention. The report also reviews epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical management, and preventive measures.
