Causes, symptoms, & treatment for bronchitis

Bronchitis is caused by an inflammatory response in the lungs, and the majority of cases are caused by a viral infection. Individuals who smoke, work in dusty environments, or live in highly-polluted cities are at higher risk of contracting the virus. Diagnosis is made based on the symptoms of the person with bronchitis.

The most common symptoms include:

  • A productive cough
  • A cough that lasts over 10 days
  • Excess mucus production
  • Mild difficulty breathing
  • Sore throat
  • Fatigue
  • Fever

Bronchitis can induce powerful coughing fits as the lungs try to expel pathogens and mucus. The body creates mucus to protect itself, but some patients with bronchitis may produce too much and must cough to keep their airways open. Bronchitis treatment reduces the severity of the cough and alleviates any additional symptoms, like fever and sore throat.

If left untreated

If you forgo medical care for your bronchitis, you may delay the recovery process. Bronchitis will strain the throat and body, so receiving medical care is advisable. DispatchHealth is here when you need us. Our mobile medical professionals provide advanced medical care in the comfort of your home to help you manage your symptoms and recover.

  • They brought everything you would see in an emergency room, but the emergency room was our bedroom! They set up an IV. They knew what they were doing. And they were very personable. We never felt rushed. And the insurance covered it all. We didn’t have to pay a dime.

  • I wasn’t sure if I should go to the ER. My doctor recommended DispatchHealth. It’s great for people like me who have COPD and other health issues. They tested my blood, ran COVID and flu tests, and even gave me IV fluids. Before leaving they sent a prescription to my pharmacy.

  • They did the ultrasound right there with my Dad on the bed. Didn’t have to go to the emergency room or anything. And the results went straight to his doctor. Very professional, just seamless. And they were very caring and compassionate.

  • It was wonderful to know that someone would come to the house within a few hours. Every experience we’ve had with them has been excellent. Whenever they leave, they know how grateful we are that they came to our house and helped us.
