Acute Bronchitis and its Solutions

Acute bronchitis is an infection that causes inflammation in the main airways of the lungs (the bronchi). It usually follows a cold, flu, or other upper respiratory infection. The main symptom is a persistent cough. If you notice these symptoms, schedule a consultation with us, and we can help either by treating you or recommending you to an urgent care provider if needed.

In most cases, acute bronchitis will improve on its own within a few weeks. However, the cough can sometimes linger for longer. It’s important to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and avoid irritants like smoke to help the healing process. You may also be given medications to ease symptoms, like cough suppressants or pain relievers, to make you more comfortable as you recover.

If your symptoms worsen or don’t improve, it’s essential to seek further medical advice. Sometimes, acute bronchitis can develop into more serious conditions, such as pneumonia, especially in people with weakened immune systems or pre-existing lung conditions. Our team is here to monitor your progress and provide the necessary care to prevent complications.
