Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs. When these tubes become irritated or swollen, they produce extra mucus, leading to coughing and difficulty breathing. Bronchitis can be acute (short-term, often following a cold or flu) or chronic (long-term, usually related to smoking or ongoing lung irritation). Most cases of acute bronchitis improve within a couple of weeks with proper rest and care.
