HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR BRONCHITIS
Bronchitis
is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to
and from your lungs. People who have bronchitis often cough up thickened mucus,
which can be discolored. Bronchitis may be either acute or chronic.
Often
developing from a cold or other respiratory infection, acute bronchitis is very
common. Chronic bronchitis, a more serious condition, is a constant irritation
or inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, often due to smoking.
Acute
bronchitis usually improves within a few days without lasting effects, although
you may continue to cough for weeks. However, if you have repeated bouts of
bronchitis, you may have chronic bronchitis, which requires medical attention.
Chronic bronchitis is one of the conditions included in chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD).
Causes -- Acute bronchitis is usually
caused by viruses, typically the same viruses that cause colds and flu
(influenza). Antibiotics don't kill viruses, so this type of medication isn't
useful in most cases of bronchitis.
The most
common cause of chronic bronchitis is smoking cigarettes. Air pollution and
dust or toxic gases in the environment or workplace also can contribute to the
condition.
Symptoms--For
either acute bronchitis or chronic bronchitis, signs and symptoms may
include:-Cough, Production of mucus (sputum), which can be clear, white,
yellowish-gray or green in color — rarely, it may be streaked with blood,
Fatigue, Shortness of breath, Slight fever and chills,Chest discomfort
If you have acute
bronchitis, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks after
the inflammation resolves. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a productive cough
that lasts at least three months, with recurring bouts occurring for at least two
consecutive years.
If you have chronic
bronchitis, you're likely to have periods when your signs and symptoms worsen.
At those times, you may have acute bronchitis on top of your chronic bronchitis
