Answer 1

Bronchitis (pronounced: brahn-kite-uss) is an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, the airways that connect the trachea (windpipe) to the lungs. This delicate, mucus-producing lining covers and protects the respiratory system, the organs and tissues involved in breathing. When a person has bronchitis, it may be harder for air to pass in and out of the lungs than it normally would, the tissues become irritated and more mucus is produced. The most common symptom of bronchitis is a cough.

The doctor will recommend that you drink lots of fluids, get plenty of rest, and may suggest using an over-the-counter or prescription cough medicine to relieve your symptoms as you recover.

In some cases, the doctor may prescribe a bronchodilator (pronounced: bron-ko-dy-lay-ter) or other medication typically used to treat asthma. These medications are often given through inhalers or nebulizer machines and help to relax and open the bronchial tubes and clear mucus so it's easier to breathe.

If you have chronic bronchitis, the goal is to reduce your exposure to whatever is irritating your bronchial tubes. For people who smoke, that means quitting! Quitting can be hard, of course. So click on the Resources tab to read some articles that can help you get there.

If you have bronchitis and don't smoke, try to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke.

What's the best way to avoid getting bronchitis? Washing your hands often helps to prevent the spread of many of the germs that cause the condition — especially during cold and flu season. If you don't smoke, don't ever start smoking — and if you do smoke, try to quit or cut down. Try to avoid being around smokers because even secondhand smoke can make you more susceptible to viral infections and increase congestion in your airway. Also, be sure to get plenty of rest and eat right so that your body can fight off any illnesses that you come in contact with.

Give up smoking and avoid smoke-filled rooms. Stay away from people who have colds. A cold which is a minor illness to a person with healthy lungs, may cause an attack of bronchitis for you.

The treatment depends mainly on how far the disorder has progressed before you consult your physician. If you are already suffering from breathlessness, the doctor will probably prescribe an aerosol inhaler. Use it three or four times a day to relax the wall muscles of your bronchi

Just got over that myself. I ran a dehumidifier and steamed up the bathroom. Also try the vicks vapor plug ins. An put a little dab of vapor rub under the nose to open airways. But definitely take all your antibiotics. Peppermint tea also helps.
