Bronchitis Treatment

Our Approach to Bronchitis Care

Bronchitis is a common respiratory condition that causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes, leading to coughing, mucus production, and breathing difficulties. It can be classified as acute or chronic and is often triggered by infections, environmental irritants, or underlying lung conditions. While acute bronchitis is usually caused by virusesand resolves within a couple of weeks, chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition linked to smoking or lung diseases like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

At Nova Patient Care, we provide fast and effective diagnosis and treatment for bronchitis to help alleviate symptoms and prevent complications. With walk-in urgent care services, we ensure patients receive timely care without long wait times. Learn more about our Urgent Care Services.

Understanding Bronchitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

What Causes Bronchitis?

Bronchitis occurs when the airways become inflamed due to:
  • Viral infections, such as the flu or common cold (most common cause of acute bronchitis) See our Cold & Flu treatment
  • Bacterial infections, which are less common but may require antibiotics
  • Exposure to irritants, such as smoke, dust, air pollution, and industrial fumes
  • Chronic lung conditions, such as asthma or COPD, which can contribute to recurrent bronchitis

Symptoms of Bronchitis

Symptoms vary depending on the severity and cause but commonly include:

  • Persistent cough producing clear, yellow, or green mucus
  • Chest discomfort or tightness
  • Shortness of breath and wheezing
  • Fatigue and mild fever
  • Sore throat, nasal congestion, or body aches, if caused by a viral infection
  • Chronic cough lasting over three months (sign of chronic bronchitis)

Diagnosis and Treatment at Nova Patient Care

Our experienced providers diagnose bronchitis through a physical examination and, if necessary, additional tests such as:

  • Chest X-rays, if pneumonia is suspected
  • Oxygen level checks, for severe symptoms
  • Lung function tests, if asthma or COPD is a concern
  • Sputum tests, in cases of persistent or worsening infections
