Hi Anon,
If you had a viral infection and passed it on to your infant then this could cause hyperactive airway (or hyperactive lungs).
There is something known as Nonallergic Bronchial Asthma.
Nonallergic bronchial asthma does not involve the immune system and is not triggered by allergens. Instead, it is caused by factors such as viral infections, air pollutants, strong odors, certain medications, stress, anxiety, exercise, cold air, dry air, hyperventilation and other irritants. Although nonallergic bronchial asthma is not caused by an allergic reaction, its symptoms are similar to those in allergic bronchial asthma, as stated by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. In the event that you or anyone in your house get a viral infection again, remember to ALWAYS wash your hands, wear a mask around him, and please keep strangers that are sick away from him.
If you suspect that it may be an allergic reaction as opposed to a reaction to the viral infection, keep your home clean. Avoid any pollen, dust mites, mold, cockroach droppings and pet dander around your baby.
Follow your discharge instructions and give him his medication as prescribed.
Hope your little one gets better soon!
