- In a study found that a third of patients initially determined to have frequent bouts of bronchitis eventually proved to have a pimple. In general, the diagnosis of bronchitis is included with the exclusion of other cases such as sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and pneumonia. Acute bronchitis occurs in the form of cough and occasionally sputum sputum, which lasts for no more than 3 weeks.
- A global study covering Europe, Asia and the Middle East recommended the treatment of chronic bronchitis exacerbated by antibiotics, which included 46891 patients in different countries, including 4350 patients in the Middle East - the first experience of To evaluate the course of development of chronic bronchitis and evaluate the benefits of long-term antibiotic therapy for people with the disease.
"When chronic bronchitis begins to worsen, the glands in them increase mucus secretion, resulting in increased coughing as a reaction from the airways to expel the mucus and clean the lungs," said Dr. Antonio Anzotto, professor and head of the Critical Care Unit at the University of Texas. Patients suffering from coughing and shortness of breath cause sleep disturbance due to persistent cough. These consequences clearly contribute to the rapid progression of the disease, so early diagnosis and effective treatment are key to recovery.
