Bronchitis Bronchitis is the technical name for inflamed or irritated airways. Bronchitis can last anywhere between a few days and a few weeks, normally the result of a hard-to-shake cold or flu. When bronchitis drags on for more than a few weeks or occurs once a year or more often, it's considered chronic and most likely to happen to smokers or people with other lung diseases. If you find you have bronchitis there are a few steps you can take to get better. Your main concern will be to get mucus up and out of your lungs as mucus-filled lungs breed bacteria that can cause pneumonia. First, stop smoking immediately or avoid all second hand smoke if you are not a smoker. That lingering cough is an early warning signal of lung damage. If you stop smoking, you may cough up even more mucus for a time, but that's actually a good sign. It shows that your lungs are working to clear themselves out. As your lungs heal, the cough will soon fade. Second, get a humidifier. When you breathe in moist air, you help thin out mucus, which makes it easier to clear out the lungs. Taking a hot shower or bath, draping a towel over your head and breathing the steam from a bowl of hot water or running a humidifier in your bedroom as you sleep can all provide the moisture that your airways need to stay clear. Third, drink plenty of water. Water helps thin mucous secretions in the lungs.

Diagnosis and Therapy of Canine Chronic Bronchitis Philip Padrid United States INTRODUCTION  Chronic bronchitis (CB) is an inflammatory airway disease, which, in association with tracheobronchial collapse, is probably the most common chronic canine airway disorder. Inflammation within airways causes chronic cough and excessive mucus production. Because, dogs can’t expectorate (spit), it is not always easy to know if the dog is making increased airway mucus. Therefore, the diagnosis of CB is usually based on chronic cough alone. Because we diagnose CB on the basis of a daily cough, we need to be sure that other causes of chronic cough such as heart failure, heartworm infestation, pneumonia, lung tumor, etc., have been ruled out. This can be complicated, in part, because CB is a disease of older dogs, and these animals may have any of these other, co-existing disorders, which can by themselves, cause cough. Additionally, certain drugs used to treat CB in dogs may be inappropriate and even contraindicated for disorders other than CB. Importantly then, the diagnosis of CB must be made with some degree of certainty to avoid potential complications related to therapy. CLINICAL FINDINGS IN DOGS WITH CHRONIC BRONCHITIS Signalment Dogs diagnosed with CB are generally 6 years of age. There does not seem to be a clear sex or breed predilection although lots of small and toy breeds such as Poodles and Pomeranians have been clinically diagnosed with CB.

Many people think (or have been told) that they "need antibiotics" for these ailments. Indeed, many physicians have prescribed antibiotics for these ailments. In the past few years, however, physicians worldwide have become increasingly concerned about the problems with prescribing antibiotics when such drugs are not necessary. Problems include: Side effects or serious allergic reactions. The growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Many bacteria can no longer be killed by antibiotics because the germs have developed defense mechanisms against the drugs. Colds, bronchitis, and common "flu" do not improve more quickly with antibiotics.

Acute Bronchitis Most bouts of acute bronchitis are caused by viral infections, and usually soon go. This leaflet gives some tips on what to do, and what symptoms to look out for which may indicate a more serious illness. What is acute bronchitis and what are the symptoms? Acute bronchitis is an infection of the the bronchi - the large airways. (Chronic bronchitis is a separate illness and is not dealt with here. See separate leaflet called 'Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease' for information on chronic bronchitis.) Acute bronchitis is common and is usually due to a virus infection. Infection with bacteria is less common. The main symptom is cough. You may also develop fever, headache, cold symptoms, and general aches and pains. Symptoms typically peak after 2-3 days and then gradually clear. However, it commonly takes 2-3 weeks for the cough to go completely after the other symptoms have gone. This is because inflammation in the airways caused by the infection may take some time to clear. What is the treatment for acute bronchitis?
