Bronchitis

Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways that carry air to and from the lungs. Acute bronchitis commonly develops following a viral respiratory infection and may cause a persistent cough that lasts for several days or weeks.

Common symptoms may include:

Persistent cough
Mucus or phlegm production
Chest congestion or discomfort
Wheezing
Fatigue
Mild fever or chills
Shortness of breath

Your physician can evaluate your symptoms, listen to your lungs, and determine whether additional testing or treatment is appropriate. Because many cases of acute bronchitis are caused by viruses, antibiotics are not always necessary.
