Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your daughter could be suffering from a viral infection which could have indeed come from her classmate having RSV. The condition is called bronchiolitis and might need to be treated with nebulization. I would strongly suggest that you visit a doctor and get her assessed and managed properly. I would not suggest opting for home treatment alone.
