Summary
This study evaluates the value of routine follow-up with a child's pediatrician after hospitalization for bronchiolitis. Parents of half of participants will be instructed to follow-up with the child's pediatrician regardless of symptom resolution, while the other half will be instructed to follow-up on an as-needed basis (only if the child worsens, doesn't improve, or other concerns develop).
