What is Bronchitis?

Bronchitis can be both a chronic condition involving the inflammation of the large bronchiole airways in the lung, and also acute inflammation of the large bronchiole airways.

What is Chronic Bronchitis?

Chronic bronchitis is the result of long term damage and inflammation to the large airways. This results in an increased sputum production and chronic lower airway infections.

What is Acute Bronchitis?

Acute bronchitis is a sudden onset inflammation of the large airways, often secondary to an infection, bacteria, virus, fungi, parasite, or pollutant. Treatment includes supportive measures, such as rest, oxygen therapy and bronchodilators, such as salbutamol.
