At some point of time or the other, most of us have suffered from a typical cough. However, when this simple cough is accompanied by severe symptoms like breathlessness and phlegm, it results in a respiratory disease known as bronchitis.
Like most other diseases, bronchitis also can be classified into acute or chronic. It is the swelling or inflammation in the bronchial tubes, which carry air between the lungs, mouth, and nose. Those suffering from bronchitis, have great difficulty in inhaling oxygen into the lungs. Inhaling toxic fumes and air that contains dust is a common cause of bronchitis. Inhaling polluted air can be worse for those patients who are living with bronchitis.
Smokers are at a higher risk of developing this disease, in fact, smoking is considered to be the major cause of bronchitis. This is because cigarettes contain innumerable chemicals and when the individuals inhale these chemicals, they irritate the lining of the bronchial tube or lining. This is when chronic bronchitis develops.
Smoking causes the cells to produce more mucus than normal causing inflammation of the bronchial tubes. This mucus further has the capability to blanket the whole lining of the bronchi leading to the accumulation of dangerous bacteria causing bronchitis. This worsens the condition of the individual suffering from bronchitis. Symptoms of bronchitis include Dry cough or phlegm, shortness of breath, fever, and fatigue too.
