Acute Bronchitis
Inflammation of the bronchial tubes, most often caused by a viral infection, leading to cough with mucus.
Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses and is self-limiting, resolving within 2–3 weeks. Antibiotics are rarely indicated. Symptomatic treatment with expectorants, cough suppressants, and bronchodilators in select cases provides relief.
