Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to your lungs, often causing coughing and difficulty breathing.

🩺 Symptoms

Common signs include a persistent cough, mucus production, wheezing, and sometimes shortness of breath.

⚕️ What This Likely Is

It can be caused by viral infections or irritants like smoke, and it may be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-lasting).

🩺 When to See Doctor

If symptoms last more than a few weeks, worsen, or are accompanied by high fever or chest pain, consult a pulmonologist (lung specialist) for proper evaluation and treatment.
