Bronchitis means inflammation of the bronchi (the tubes that carry air to your lungs). Acute and chronic forms of bronchitis are markedly different in their causes and treatment. Acute bronchitis is a common condition that can occur during the course of flu or other respiratory infections. The cough can last for a couple of weeks, but the patient gets well with no long term complications. Chronic bronchitis is a relatively serious illness characterized by cough with sputum for 3 months or more in a year for 2 consecutive years. The most common causes of chronic bronchitis are smoking, air pollution, and occupational exposure to irritants.
