Bronchitis is an obstructive pulmonary disease characterized by inflammation of the bronchi of the lungs. It is a common disease of habitual tobacco smokers and residents of polluted cities. Like many disorders, bronchitis can be acute (short-term), or chronic (long-lasting). Chronic bronchitis is defined clinically as a persistent cough that produces sputum for at least three months in two consecutive years.
Chronic bronchitis is predominantly caused by smoking, and has also been linked to pneumoconiosis, excessive alcohol consumption and exposure to cold and draught. 1
Symptoms
- An expectorating cough (the colour of the mucus does not signify whether the infection is viral or bacterial)
- Dyspnea (Shortness of breath)
- Fatigue and/or malaise
- Mild fever
- Mild chest pains
