bronchitis
     Is the inflammation of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (airways) within the lungs due to an infection, bacteria or other cause. The mucous lining within the airways become irritated and swollen. The mucous cells leak extra mucous in response to the inflammation. This series of event causes coughing which is a reflex that works to clear the extra secretion from the lungs. Anyone can have it but smokers, individuals with a weakened immune system, individuals exposed to constant lung irritants and the elderly can be more susceptible to it. There are two types of bronchitis acute and chronic.

Acute: An infection that usually last several days or weeks and is caused by a secondary infection of the bronchi by viruses or bacteria e.g. cold or influenza.

Chronic: is a prolonged and persistent irritation of the mucous lining this produces a cough that can last at least three months.
