BRONCHITIS

CAUSES: Several viruses cause bronchitis, including influenza A and B, commonly referred to as the flu. A number of bacteria are also known to cause bronchitis, which causes so-called "walking pneumonia." Bronchitis also can occur when a person inhales irritating fumes or dust. Chemical solvents and smoke, including tobacco smoke, have been linked to acute bronchitis. People at increased risk of both getting bronchitis and of having more severe symptoms include the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, smokers, and anyone with repeated exposure to lung irritants.

SYMPTOMS: Cough is the most common symptom of bronchitis. The cough may be dry or may produce phlegm. Significant phlegm production suggests that the lower respiratory tract and the lung itself may be infected, and these symptoms suggest pneumonia. The cough may last for more than 2 weeks. Continued forceful coughing may be painful, and can make your chest and abdominal muscles sore. Coughing can be severe enough at times to injure the chest, break ribs, wall or even cause a person to pass out faint. Wheezing may occur because of the muscular tightness and inflammation of the airways. This may leave the affected individual short of breath. Asthmatic bronchitis symptoms include a combination of wheezing and shortness of breath, in addition to the other symptoms of bronchitis.

PREVENTION: Stop smoking. The dangers of secondhand smoke are well documented. Children should never be exposed to secondhand smoke. Avoid exposure to irritants. Proper protection in the workplace is vital to preventing exposure. Avoiding long exposure to air pollution from heavy traffic may help prevent bronchitis. Stay away from others you know have a cold or the flu. Wash the hands frequently to prevent the spread of infection.

TREATMENT: Drinking fluids is very important because fever causes the body to lose fluid faster. Lung secretions will be thinner and easier to clear when the patient is well hydrated. A cool mist vaporizer or humidifier can help decrease bronchial irritation. Natural treatments and home remedies for bronchitis include honey, lemon, ginger, bay leaf, and almonds. Each of these foods has properties that reportedly reduce symptoms of bronchitis. Consult your health care professional before taking or using any natural Antibiotics will not cure a viral illness remedies.
