Bronchitis 14.
Bronchitis is diagnosed when the bronchial tubes (airways) of the lungs are abnormally dilated. This results in an anomalous accumulation of mucus along the airways, leaving the lungs vulnerable to a variety of potential infections. Depending on the abnormality of the airways, symptoms can differ from one patient to another. When the lungs become infected as a result of the abnormally large airways, the condition’s symptoms tend to worsen.
The most notable symptom of bronchitis is coughing up bloody sputum, along with chest pain, joint pain, shortness of breath, and wheezing. Fortunately, antibiotics can help treat this condition. After a diagnosis of bronchitis, it is prudent to stock antibiotics in preparation for the onset of symptoms. Remember that this condition’s symptoms worsen when it is neglected. Consult a medical professional at the first symptom of the condition.
