Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. The main symptoms include a persistent cough, production of mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. To alleviate these symptoms, you can try staying hydrated, using a humidifier, and avoiding irritants like smoke or strong fumes. If you're looking for support, your GP or a pharmacist can provide advice and treatment options. Treatment for bronchitis may involve rest, increased fluid intake, and sometimes medications such as bronchodilators or corticosteroids, depending on the severity and cause of your condition.
