Also known as chest cold, recurrent wheezy bronchitis, chronic bronchitis, acute bronchitis and bronchiolitis, chest infection, CI, acute bronchitis

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi (large and medium-sized airways) in the lungs that causes coughing. Bronchitis usually begins as an infection in the nose, ears, throat, or sinuses. The infection then makes its way down to the bronchi. Symptoms include coughing up sputum, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Bronchitis can be acute or chronic.

AI overview

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the large and medium-sized airways in your lungs that typically develops when an infection from your nose, ears, throat, or sinuses spreads downward, causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. It matters because it can significantly affect your breathing and quality of life, and it can be either acute (temporary) or chronic (long-lasting).
