About bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways in the lungs, typically after a cold or flu, and it produces a cough that may last for weeks.
Care and treatment for bronchitis
Your doctor judges how likely it is to be viral, looks for pneumonia warning signs and recommends treatment. An antibiotic is only suggested for a probable bacterial infection. Options may include rest, fluids, cough soothers and, only if a bacterial infection is likely, antibiotics.
- Avoid smoke and dusty places
- Simple pain relief for fever or aches as directed on the pack
