Get rid of Bronchitis
Bronchitis refers to the inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the bronchial tubes within the lungs. Bronchitis may be acute or chronic. In chronic cases, the disease is of long duration and more serious. Generally due to inflammation in the bronchi, large quantities of mucus are secreted and expelled as phlegm. This phlegm is sticky, semi-fluid and may even be purulent. The patient may suffer from fever, experiences some sort of difficulty in breathing, and has a cough, pain in the chest and loss of appetite.
