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
