Bronchitis explained
Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways in the lungs, normally after a cold or flu, causing a cough that can last for weeks.
Common triggers
Mostly viruses, so antibiotics typically do not help. Smoking, pollution and dust make it worse.
How bronchitis is treated
The physician decides whether a virus is likely, checks for signs of pneumonia and suggests treatment; antibiotics are only advised when bacterial infection seems likely. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest rest, fluids, cough soothers and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics.
- Rest and drink plenty of fluids
- Simple painkillers for fever or aches as directed on the pack
