We have all had those days when an annoying cough just will not let up, especially during the cold days of winter. Coughing is a sign of respiratory problems and can be mild or severe. One likely cause of coughing is bronchitis. Since the weather is getting cold, we will dive into the basic knowledge of bronchitis to help you better prepare for the condition.
What Is Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a common respiratory condition when the tubes carrying air to your lungs (bronchi) become inflamed. It can be either acute or chronic.
Symptoms of Bronchitis
Chronic and acute bronchitis may have the following signs:
- Persistent Cough: This cough may linger for weeks and produce thick mucus.
- Chest Discomfort: You might feel discomfort or tightness in your chest, especially when coughing or taking deep breaths.
- Wheezing: Some people with bronchitis may experience a whistling or wheezing sound while breathing.
- Shortness of Breath: The mucus and swelling may block the airway and lead to difficulty breathing.
- Fatigue: Bronchitis can make you feel tired and run down.
What Causes Bronchitis
Bronchitis is usually the result of viral infections, most commonly the same viruses that cause colds and the flu. These viruses can irritate the bronchial tubes, causing inflammation and excess mucus production. Smoking and exposure to environmental irritants like air pollution can increase the risk of chronic bronchitis.
Treatment for Bronchitis
Most acute bronchitis will resolve on its own, but chronic one may need medical attention. Here are some friendly tips to help you recover faster:
- Rest: Rest is always good for healing. Plenty of sleep and relaxation can make a big difference.
- Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking lots of fluids. Warm tea with honey can soothe your throat and cough.
- Humidifier: A humidifier can add moisture to the air and help ease your cough and congestion.
- Over-the-counter (OTC) Medications: Over-the-counter cough suppressants and pain relievers can relieve some symptoms. Be sure to follow the dosage instructions.
- Avoiding Irritants: Stay clear of tobacco smoke, pollutants, and other irritants that can worsen your symptoms.
- Doctor’s Visit: If your symptoms are severe or persistent, or you have a high fever, consulting a healthcare professional may be necessary.
