Common questions about Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. It can be caused by viral infections, bacteria, exposure to irritants like smoke or dust, or chronic conditions such as COPD.

Yes, a healthcare provider can assess symptoms and recommend treatment through an online consultation. If it's viral bronchitis, treatment focuses on symptom relief, while bacterial bronchitis may require antibiotics.

Acute bronchitis typically lasts 10–14 days, though a lingering cough may persist for weeks. Chronic bronchitis, which is more common in smokers or people with lung conditions, can last for months or return frequently.

You should seek medical attention if you experience a high fever, chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, or symptoms that persist beyond three weeks. These could indicate a more serious condition, such as pneumonia.

Viral bronchitis, caused by infections like the flu or common cold, is contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets. Bacterial bronchitis can also be contagious. However, chronic bronchitis is not contagious, as it is usually caused by long-term lung irritation.

Treatment depends on the cause. Viral bronchitis usually improves with rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications, while bacterial bronchitis may require antibiotics. Inhalers or steroids may be prescribed for chronic bronchitis.
