Bronchitis
There are two types of Bronchitis: acute Bronchitis brought on by viral and
bacterial infections, lasting a few days or weeks, and chronic bronchitis, caused by
tobacco smoke and infection, which lasts for months or years.
The risk of both types occurring is exacerbated by irritants including chemical
fumes, dust, smoke or other air pollutants as well as asthma, poor diet, inclement
weather, and chronic pulmonary disorders.
