Bronchitis is encountered in all ages, especially in association with colds or flues. At persons with weak immune system and smokers chronic bronchitis and asthmatic bronchitis are the major complications. After bronchitis people are more susceptible to develop pneumonia.

Cases of bacteria caused by viruses recover without treatment in about 5-6 days. Viruses usually cause acute forms of bronchitis with intense symptoms than those of chronic cases. If the cause is bacteria antibiotics are required.

Chronic bronchitis needs permanent and intense treatment and care for a quick recovery; if not properly treated symptoms reappear and might even worsen. Chronic bronchitis must immediately be treated with ant biotherapy. Chronic cases of bronchitis appear usually in patients with weaken immune systems and in chronic smokers.

Primer symptoms of bronchitis are coughing, fever, excessive mucus amounts, chest pains, headaches, discomfort, inflammation and wheezing. Fever mainly indicates a bacterial infection requiring antibiotics. Bronchitis can put major diagnose problems because its symptoms assemble other respiratory conditions like sinusitis, clod, flu or asthma. The absence of early treatment can lead to severe complications.

Physical and Para clinical examinations can rapidly establish the bronchitis diagnosis; laboratory analyses and pulmonary testing show the most important signs of bronchial sufferance. Although it is a very common medical condition, bronchitis is often misdiagnosed. It is one of the most frequent encountered diseases of the respiratory obstructive chronic diseases. A clinical exam of the patient can incline the doctor's opinion towards asthma, sinusitis or allergies. Supplementary Chest X-ray and respiration tests must be done in order to prescribe the right diagnose and treatment.

In bronchitis of other causes than bacteria, the main curing method is to release the obstruction of the bronchial tubes. The cause of the obstruction is the inflammation of the respiratory tract, mucous membranes, organs and tissues. Due to the irritation and inflammation the bronchis increase the secretion of mucus for protection against damaging factors like dust or pollutants. The movements of the cills are diminished or stopped and secretions gather inside the bronchial tubes.

The gathered mucus caused coughing, wheezing and difficult breathing. That is why the first administered drugs are bronchodilators which help the reestablishment of the respiration. Bronchodilators are mostly used in asthma and chronic bronchitis.

To achieve a full and permanent healing of bronchitis it must be diagnosed and properly treated in time. If not treated, it will become chronic or develop major and dangerous complications. If you show any signs or symptoms like coughs, fever or difficult breathing, you must see a doctor immediately as you might suffer from bronchitis.
