Yes, It can be serious, it can last for months.
The disease comes in two forms: acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) and chronic (reoccurring frequently for more than two years). In addition, people with asthma also experience an inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes called asthmatic bronchitis
Go to the Doctor

I once suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. I would suffer sometimes 3 to 4 times per year! Usually when there was a major change in the pressure outside (I live in the north, and the temperature spikes and dips do wonders to chronic sufferers of bronchitis!). Each time I would get horrible hacking coughs, hoarking up green phlegm..it was so frustrating!
The key to getting rid of your bronchitis is to find a way to completely eliminate the germs that are causing all the phlegm and irritation leading to your hoarking cough and heavy breathing. Keep reading to learn how to do kill these germs!!

No, not always. Acute bronchitis can be caused by a virus, other upper respiratory infections or inhalation of an irritant, ie. smoke. Bronchitis can become a chronic problem and is treated with medication such as bronchodialators, steroids and antibiotics. Heavy smokers can suffer from chronic bronchitis and emphysema and usually need to be treated with supplemental oxygen. Bronchitis in babies less than six months old caused by a virus called RSV can be very serious and may require hospitalization. If you suffer from bronchitis see your doctor or preferably a lung specialist.

Yes, it is. You need to have it treated because the hacking coughs are horrible and it can potentially lead to other, worse lung diseases.
