What is bronchitis?
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which are the tubes that carry air to and from your lungs. The acute type of this condition is common and typically develops from a cold or another respiratory illness. It usually clears up within days or weeks, with no long-term effects.
