What Is Bronchitis?

Bronchitis occurs when the bronchial tubes in the lungs become inflamed, leading to increased mucus production and coughing. There are two main types:

• Acute bronchitis, often caused by viral infections

• Chronic bronchitis, a long-term condition typically related to smoking or environmental exposure

Most cases seen in urgent care are acute bronchitis.

Common Symptoms of Bronchitis

Bronchitis symptoms may include:

• Persistent cough (with or without mucus)

• Chest tightness or discomfort

• Shortness of breath

• Wheezing

• Fatigue

• Low-grade fever

• Sore throat or nasal congestion

Coughing may last several weeks even after other symptoms improve.

Causes & Risk Factors

Bronchitis may be caused by:

• Viral respiratory infections

• Smoking or secondhand smoke exposure

• Air pollution or irritants

• Allergies or asthma

• Recent upper respiratory illness

Identifying the cause helps guide treatment decisions.
