[size=4][b]Symptoms of Bronchitis Mucus - Bronchitis - Definition, Symptoms and Treatment[/b][/size][hr]Definition It is a type of respiratory disease. It involves inflammation of the mucous membrane in the bronchial passage of the lungs. Coughing spells, breathlessness and thick phlegm accompany this breathing difficulty disease. They are caused by the thickening and swelling of the irritated membrane which closes or narrows down the tiny air passages inside the lungs and makes breathing troublesome. There are two types of bronchitis-chronic and acute.

[size=large][b]Cough Suppressants or Expectorants Will Help to Loosen Mucus[/b][/size][hr]Since most bronchitis cases are viral attacks, you can give antibiotics a miss. Antibiotics, however, may be necessary if a bacterial infection has led to bronchitis or if he has impaired lung function. In cases of chronic bronchitis, oral or inhaled steroids for reducing inflammation, annual flu shots, one shot pneumonia vaccine, or/and supplemental oxygen are to be taken, as advised by your doctor, to protect your vulnerable lungs. We found it rather unbelievable to find out that there is so much to learn on Types Bronchitis! Wonder if you could believe it after going through it!

[size=large][b]Quit Smoking[/b][/size][hr]If your physician has not limited your fluid intake, consume water or fruit juices or other such healthy fluids once an hour. You can take the help of medication/drugs like acetaminophen or aspirin to give relief to your aching body. Keep away children from aspirin. Consult your physician for best results. Nothing abusive about Bronchitis have been intentionally added here. Whatever it is that we have added, is all informative and productive to you.

After many hopeless endeavors to produce something worthwhile on Persistent Cough, this is what we have come up with. We are very hopeful about this!

Quote:[list][*]Symptoms There may or may not be a fever.[*]Breathing will be a difficult task, accompanied by a wheezing or rasping sound.[*]The patient will feel lethargic and depleted of energy.[*]Another common symptom is a persistent cough that produces mucus and may throw up blood.[*]The patient may experience shortness of breath.[*]The other warning symptom is a chest cold which has lasted for more than a fortnight. [/list]

Treatment Please do not commit the blunder of waiting for all of the above mentioned symptoms to appear. Seek medical assistance. Take enough rest. Our dreams of writing a lengthy article on Bronchitis has finally materialized Through this article on Bronchitis. however, only if you acknowledge its use, will we feel gratitude for writing it!

Inflammation of the mucous membranes in the bronchial tree (the deep inner lung passages) is called Bronchitis. Bronchitis comes in two forms, either acute or chronic. Viral and bacterial infections normally cause acute bronchitis which is normally a relatively mild inflammation. Sometimes irritation from environmental fumes such as tobacco smoke, acid and solvent fumes can also cause acute bronchitis. Symptoms normally happen in the winter months and follow on from a cold. Bronchitis typically begins with a dry cough which then persists in frequencies producing yellow-green mucus due to the inflammation of the mucous membranes lining in the bronchi. A wheeze and shortness of breath may also occur due to the narrowing of the airways. A slight fever and soreness behind the breast bone are other common symptoms.

Symptoms may be relieved by drinking plenty of fluids and participating in steam inhalation with added menthol or eucalyptus. This will help to break up the mucus. Stopping smoking, cutting out mucus forming foods such as dairy products, eating plenty of immune boosting fruit and vegetables plus oily fish which contain anti-inflammatory properties will also be beneficial. Studies have shown that by breast feeding your baby, lung infections can be reduced throughout early childhood. There is a vast ocean of knowledge connected with Acute Bronchitis. What is included here can be considered a fraction of this knowledge!

People with compromised immune systems, the elderly, babies, people who are exposed to environmental pollutants and those who already suffering from a lung ailment are more prone to bronchitis and should see their doctor if bronchitis develops. Bronchitis Doctor are versatile as they are found in all parts and walks of life. It all depends on the way you take it.

Long term exposure to environmental and industrial toxins such as cigarette smoking and inhaled pollutants can cause chronic irritation of the bronchi causing chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis produces excess mucus and a productive cough on a daily basis for a long period of time; it is a long-term lung problem. Other symptoms of chronic bronchitis are breathlessness, chest pain, wheezing and sometimes coughing up blood. There are many varieties of Chronic Bronchitis found today. However, we have stuck to the description of only one variety to prevent confusion! Big Grin.

The deterioration of the ability to breathe freely stops smokers from participating in sports at higher levels and ultimately this reduction in the ability to exercise results in poor health and for many people the sedentary life that they will tend to lead causes many more related health problems. We have also translated parts of this composition into French and Spanish to facilitate easier understanding of Emphysema Bronchitis. In this way, more people will get to understand the composition.

[size=large][b]Emphysema is a Respiratory Disorder Characterized by Problems in Breathing[/b][/size][hr]The disorder is caused by the enlargement of air sacs in the lungs, and this makes it difficult for the oxygen to get transported to the bloodstream. Emphysema is the most common cause of death from respiratory disease in the United States. It is generally caused by heavy cigarette smoking. Obviously with a reduction in the circulation of oxygen throughout the body it will deteriorate at an increased rate. Emphysema sufferers have the constant feeling of slowly suffocating, because they can't breathe in enough oxygen to feel comfortable. Dwelving into the interiors of Chronic Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Chronic Bronchitis. Chronic Bronchitis do indeed have a lot to tell!Dwelving into the interiors of Chronic Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Chronic Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Consider the Following, Before Your Light Up Your Next Cigarette;[/b][/size][hr]Smoking is the number one cause of preventable death in the US and is the biggest cause of disease and death in most western countries. And the deaths from these diseases are not easy deaths, they can involve multiple organs or body systems, and there will usually be considerable pain and suffering. It is the leading cause of many forms of cancer and also heart disease and stroke. Many people are not aware of the added risks of heart disease and stroke, probably helped along by the elevated blood pressure that smoking also causes. Virtually every organ in the body is harmed by smoking and this is due to the thousands of chemicals (yes that is thousands) that are present in tobacco smoke. Medical professionals are not even sure of everything that smoking can damage. Many of those chemicals have been shown to cause cancer and many other health problems are caused or made worse due to smoking. It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Chronic Bronchitis. Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.

Addition to this damage to the air sacs in the lungs, other tissues in the airways can become inflamed from cigarette smoke causing chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a major cause of disability and death in the United States. The American Lung Association estimates that about 14 million Americans suffer from the disease. Chronic bronchitis is caused by inhaling bronchial irritants, especially cigarette smoke.

Each day of smoking is another step in the wrong direction where many parts of the body including the major organs are exposed to danger that can ultimately lead to death. Damage to your lungs gets worse with every cigarette, and will never rebound, unfortunately the risk of lung cancer which is by far the biggest killer of smokers, never goes completely away. Many ex-smokers still get and die from lung cancer, sometimes many years after they quit.

Until recently the group of diseases that are thought to be primarily caused by smoking were all more prevalent in men than in women, however as the number of women smokers has increased, more women are being diagnosed with these diseases Aiming high is our motto when writing about any topic. In this way, we tend to add whatever matter there is about Chronic Bronchitis, rather than drop any topic. Big Grin.

When the combination of these two illnesses strike a person it can be an extremely unpleasant situation where the shortage of breath becomes increasingly difficult and ultimately results in early death. Smoking also increases the problem of hypertension (high blood pressure) and along with that smokers are at more risk of having a heart attack than those people who don't smoke. We are satisfied with this end product on Bronchitis Caused. It was really worth the hard work and effort in writing so much on Bronchitis Caused.

Bronchitis symptoms will most commonly begin to be manifest following a bout of the flu or the common cold. The body can't manage to heal itself fully, and symptoms such as heavy coughing will begin to be manifest, this coughing could be dry, or phlegmy. The cough produced by bronchitis can potentially last for several weeks, also bringing with it the possibility of pain in the chest and abdomen, as well as difficulty breathing to the point of wheezing.
