Can An Infant With Bronchiolitis Travel Safely?

Hi, I have a 10 months old daughter, she has been suspected to have a Bronchiolitis, currently has no temperature, her oxygen level was checked today and was fine, but she is coughing and weezes a bit. We have a flight tomorrow morning 4.5 hours and i am worried, would you please advise if we can go as there is many of us depending on the little one? Thank you very much in advance.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
I would advise to wait till the little one gets better.Because bronchiolitis can worsen over period of time.Secondly the congested environment of plane and high altitude can decrease surrounding oxygen.Your kid will be needing optimal oxygen.
Hope you find this answer helpful
