Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways, leading to difficulty breathing, mucus build-up, and persistent cough. At Nano Hospitals, our expert pulmonologists in Hulimavu and Uttarahalli provide advanced bronchitis treatment for both acute and chronic bronchitis, ensuring complete respiratory care.
Mild fever, persistent cough, mucus production, shortness of breath, and wheezing.
Acute bronchitis usually lasts 3–7 days, but airway inflammation can extend for weeks. Chronic bronchitis may last months or longer and requires evaluation by a pulmonologist.
Diagnostic tests include physical exam, lung function test, chest X-ray, and sputum analysis.
Treatment may include mucolytics, cough suppressants, inhalers, and hydration. In some cases, steroid inhalers or short-term oral steroids like prednisone may be prescribed.
Antibiotics are generally not required unless a secondary bacterial infection occurs, indicated by fever spikes or changes in mucus color or quantity.
