Most of us are dealing with coughs and bronchitis at the moment due to the time of year. We in the season of viral and bacterial infections.
While you may be aware, the act of coughing itself is our bodies way of trying to rid itself of foreign substances as well as mucus in the upper airway passages and lungs. Bronchitis can last from a few days to a whole month depending on how bad your case is and is not fun to deal with at all. Dealing with a constant wet or dry cough can be completely exhausting.
Luckily only about twenty percent of all cases of the cough become chronic. If you notice any of the following symptoms it would be best if you saw a doctor as soon as possible:
- Coughing up blood, bloody mucus, or even pink foamy mucus
- Coughing up yellow, green, or tan mucus
- Get the chills or chest pains when breathing deeply
- Begin dealing with shortness of breath
