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).

支氣管炎是肺部支氣管(中至大的大小之呼吸道)的發炎。症狀包括咳痰、喘鳴、呼吸急促及胸口不適。支氣管炎有急性和慢性兩種。 急性支氣管炎的咳嗽症狀一般持續三週,逾九成是病毒感染引起的。病毒經人們咳嗽的飛沫或直接接觸傳播。 風險因素包括吸煙、塵埃和空氣污染。一小部份病症是高量空氣污染物或細菌直接引起,細菌包括肺炎黴漿菌和百日咳桿菌。急性支氣管炎的治療是休息、止痛藥(乙醯胺酚)和非類固醇抗發炎藥物幫助退燒。 慢性支氣管炎的定義是持續兩年或以上,每年裡超過三個月的有痰咳嗽。大部分慢性支氣管炎患者有慢性阻塞性肺病。吸煙是最常見的致病原因,其他原因包括空氣污染和基因(後者重要性較低)。慢性支氣管炎的治療是戒煙、疫苗預防、復康治療、吸入性支氣管擴張劑和類固醇。一些患者需要長期吸氧治療或肺臟移植。 急性支氣管炎是最常見的病症之一。分別約5%成人和約6%兒童每年最少一次出現症狀。在2010年,慢性阻塞性肺病3億2900萬人,即約5%人口。在2013年,它引起的死亡數字為2900萬,比1990年的2400 萬有所上升。
