Bronchitis Treatment
Bronchitis Specialist in Fredericksburg, VA
Pediatric Care at Your Doorstep With The Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg
When your child develops a persistent cough, it can be hard to know whether it’s just a cold or something more. Bronchitis is a common respiratory illness that affects the airways and often follows a cold or viral infection. The Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg’s Doorstep Urgent Care service brings trusted pediatric care to your home, eliminating uncomfortable waiting rooms and unnecessary travel.
Does My Child Have Bronchitis?
Bronchitis occurs when the airways, or bronchial tubes, become inflamed, usually due to a viral infection. This inflammation leads to a lingering cough, chest discomfort, and sometimes a mild fever. Children often develop bronchitis after a cold or flu, and while it can sound alarming, most cases are not severe and can be treated at home with the proper care. Our pediatric team is trained to evaluate respiratory symptoms thoroughly to ensure they are bronchitis and not something more complex like pneumonia or asthma.
What Are the Signs My Child May Need Bronchitis Treatment?
If your child has a nagging cough that won’t go away, especially if it’s interfering with sleep or causing discomfort, it may be time to schedule a visit. Additional signs include wheezing, low-grade fever, chest tightness, fatigue, and mucus production. With our Doorstep service, you don’t have to take time off work or sit in a waiting room. Our mobile care team arrives at your home, ready to provide a complete exam and answer your questions. We treat bronchitis symptoms promptly, so your child can recover comfortably in their own space.

Can Bronchitis Be Treated at Home or Do We Need a Doctor?
Most bronchitis in children is caused by viruses, which means antibiotics aren’t necessary. However, having a pediatrician assess your child is still essential to rule out more serious issues. Our Doorstep Urgent Care providers will evaluate your child’s breathing, check for fever, and recommend supportive care like rest, fluids, and management. We’ll also determine whether inhalers or other medications may be necessary.
How Does Doorstep Urgent Care Work for Bronchitis Visits?
Accessing Doorstep Urgent Care is stress-free and straightforward for our established pediatric patients. Call our dedicated line at 540-472-4050, and we’ll provide a time window for one of our pediatric professionals to arrive at your home. You’ll receive the same high-quality care as a clinic visit, billed at the same rate, with no crowded waiting rooms, no added stress, and no need to change your current pediatrician. We specialize in pediatric urgent care and offer treatment for bronchitis, fevers, rashes, minor injuries, and more.
When Should I Worry About My Child’s Cough?
If your child has a cough lasting longer than three weeks, a high fever, trouble breathing, or signs of dehydration, don’t wait. These could be signs that the condition is worsening or that another illness is involved. Our Doorstep team is equipped to assess, diagnose, and treat bronchitis right at your home, bringing peace of mind when you need it most.

Our Reviews
Any way to avoid bringing any sick kid out of the house is a win, so having this wonderful service to do that is a win win!
Highly recommended from a mom of 3!

This mobile service that the Children’s Clinic of Fredericksburg is offering has been wonderful. No more having to drag my sick kids into a office where they can spread it to more kids. We can wait in the comfort of our home for the van to come and take care of our kids.

I’m a mom with 6 kiddos and taking them in all the time can sometimes be the biggest pain cause they’re kids and they act like kids they want to run and play. Today we used DoorStep for the first time to see my kids and it was wonderful!
