Signs of Bronchitis
Did you know that bronchitis is one of the top ten conditions for which people seek medical care? The signs and symptoms of bronchitis, also often called a chest cold, include inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, that causes persistent cough, chest pain, wheezing, and occasionally, difficulty breathing. Bronchitis typically comes on after a bout of the common cold or another respiratory infection. Older adults, infants, and young children are at increased risk of developing bronchitis, as are smokers, and those who are immune compromised.
Bronchitis Signs & Symptoms
- Chest discomfort
- Chills
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Production of thick, sticky mucus; clear, white, yellowish, greyish, or green in colour
- Shortness of breath
Acute Vs Chronic Bronchitis Signs
Acute bronchitis is typically caused by viruses; the same viruses that cause the cold and flu. Acute bronchitis tends to resolve by itself once the infection is gone, with symptoms usually improving in 10 days or so, though coughing may linger for several weeks.
Chronic bronchitis (long-term inflammation of the bronchi) is a more serious condition that can develop over time and is characterized by recurrent episodes of bronchitis lasting anywhere from a few months to a few years. Unsurprisingly, one of the most common causes of chronic bronchitis is smoking. Air pollution also can contribute/aggravate the condition. Chronic bronchitis is a serious condition that should be treated as it can result in a drastic decline in lung function.
How Is Bronchitis Treated?
Although the conventional approach to treating bronchitis is often with a course of antibiotics, the truth of the matter is that more often than not bronchitis is caused by a virus, against which antibiotics are useless. Conventional treatment of severe or chronic bronchitis involves the use of bronchodilators.
Bronchitis responds especially well to lifestyle modifications, such as using a humidifier to ease coughs and loosen mucus in the airways (hot steamy showers can also help); practicing pursed-lip breathing – a technique used to regulate breathing and relieve shortness of breath; getting in at least 30 minutes of exercise daily will also help enhance respiratory clearance, and staying hydrated to thin the mucus in your bronchial tubes. Last but certainly not least on the lifestyle hygiene list is adopting an anti-inflammatory diet to bolster your immune system and lower inflammation in your bronchial tubes. Supplementation can also be extremely useful.
