What Is Bronchitis?

Bronchitis is inflammation and swelling the tubes that carry air to your lungs which leads you to a nagging cough and mucus.

Types:

  • Acute bronchitis. Is more common. Symptoms last for few days, but it doesn’t usually reoccur frequently.
  • Chronic bronchitis. More serious. It keeps coming back whenever any causative factor predominates.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of acute bronchitis include:

  • Body aches and chills
  • Feeling “wiped out”
  • Sore throat
  • Low fever
  • Runny, stuffy nose

Symptoms of both acute and chronic bronchitis includes

  • whistling sound when you breathe
  • chest congestion, when your chest feels full
  • A cough with clear, white, yellow, or green mucus
  • Shortness of breath

Even after the other symptoms of acute bronchitis gets relieved, the cough can persist a few weeks while your bronchial tubes heal and the swelling goes down.

With chronic bronchitis, your cough lasts for at least 3 months and comes back annually.

Causes:

Most common, the same viruses that cause you a cold or the flu can give you acute bronchitis. But sometimes, bacteria also plays a role.

Chronic bronchitis causes include:

  • Air pollution
  • Chemical fumes or dust
  • Smoking or breathing in second hand smoke for a long time

You are prone to have bronchitis if:

  • You smoke.
  • You have asthma and allergies.
  • You have a weaker immune system.
  • You have a family history of lung disease.
