winter lasting for few days or weeks. Acute bronchitis is mostly self –
limiting, that is, the body`s defense clears the infection. But prompt
treatment is advisable to prevent complications like bronchopneumonia.

infection, such as a cold or flu and may accompany a bacterial
infection.

consistently back up into the food pipe, a condition known as
gastroesophagial reflux disease (GERD) leading to irritation of the
passage.
