WHAT IS BRONCHITIS?
Bronchitis is an irritation of the inside lining of the bronchial tubes. Any time the bronchi are irritated not much air is able to move to and from the lungs and a thick mucus or phlegm is coughed out.

WHAT CAUSES IT?
While smoke from cigarettes is still the most frequent reason for chronic bronchitis, air contamination, fumes and dust also contribute to the trouble. Chronic bronchitis indicators get worse when air contaminants go up. Once the bronchial tubes have been aggravated over a large span of time, large amounts mucus is made constantly, the lining of the bronchial tubes becomes thick, an irritating raspy cough develops, air movement may be slowed, and the lungs are threatened. Those who smoke cigarettes are most likely to develop chronic bronchitis. People exposed to large amounts of fumes and dust are also at a higher risk of developing this ailment.

TREATMENT
To control chronic bronchitis, it is essential to remove sources of irritation and infection in the throat, nose, sinuses, mouth, and bronchial tubes. This means a person must avoid contaminated air and dusty living conditions and stop smoking.
