Bronchitis Treatment - Natural Remedy For Bronchitis

Bronchitis

Bronchitis is the inflammation or obstruction of the bronchi or breathing tubes that lead to the lungs. The inflammation is followed by incessant coughing due to the irritation present, a build-up of mucus, fever, back and chest pain, sore throat, and difficulty breathing. Acute bronchitis typically follows upper respiratory tract infections such as influenza and often leads to pneumonia. Chronic bronchitis results from frequent irritation of the lungs, but it is not an infection. Allergies may be the cause of chronic bronchitis. In addition, as the space in the lung available for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide diminishes, the heart has to work harder to keep an adequate volume of blood. This can lead to heart disease.
Smoking and acute upper respiratory infections are often associated with bronchial infections. If bacteria are the cause, antibiotics should be prescribed; however, cough suppressants should not be used in the treatment. A chest x-ray should be taken to rule out lung cancer.
A new type of bronchitis, probably viral in origin, has targeted many women. It is very difficult to treat, often lasting three weeks to five months. Antibiotics may help, especially Doryx.
