Bronchitis is an infection of the bronchial tubes.These are the main branches of opernings that run into our lungs to carry air. It is most likely bacterial in origin. Acute bronchitis means that the infection has come on quickly and is spreading quickly. This is usually treated with antibiotics.

Your lungs are like a big trees and off of each branch are bronchus, these help the air move in and out of your body. When you get acute bronchitis that means you have a sudden onset and the bronchi's are inf lammed, this is why you wheeze. People who have chronic bronchitis(chronic means on going, itis means inflammation of) are more apt to get very severe lung problems down the road. Please stop smoking right now. and do not use Pot for any reason. and do not stay with a smoker, stay on your antibiotics for as long as DR tell you..

"Acute bronchitis is an infection of the bronchial (say: “brawn-kee-ull”) tree. The bronchial tree is made up of the tubes that carry air into your lungs. When these tubes get infected, they swell and mucus (thick fluid) forms inside them. This makes it hard for you to breathe. You may cough up mucus and wheeze (make a whistling sound when you breathe)."

ACUTE means its new not a chronic condition. Usually the remedy is just to let it take its course drink alot of fluids and do NOT smoke if you do.

It is a very serious infection of the lungs. Sometimes a stay in the hospital is in order. Some get it from smoking but really I am not sure what causes it.
