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).
