Causes of Acute Bronchitis:

The most common cause of acute bronchitis is a viral infection, such as the common cold or flu virus. Other potential causes include:

Diagnosis of Acute Bronchitis:

Dr. Apar Agarwal, a renowned pulmonologist at Artus Lungs Clinic, Meerut, uses various diagnostic tools to confirm acute bronchitis, including:

Medical history: Discussing your symptoms, risk factors, and recent illnesses.
Physical examination: Checking for signs of respiratory distress and listening for abnormal lung sounds.
Chest X-ray: While not always necessary, it may be helpful in excluding other conditions.
Sputum test: Examining a sample of mucus coughed up from the lungs can help identify the causative organism.

Treatment Options for Acute Bronchitis at Artus Lungs Clinic:

While most cases of acute bronchitis resolve on their own within a few weeks, Dr. Apar Agarwal offers various treatment options to alleviate symptoms and speed up recovery:

Over-the-counter medications: Cough suppressants, pain relievers, and decongestants can help manage symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and congestion.
Rest: Getting plenty of rest allows your body to focus on healing.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids helps loosen mucus and keeps your airways hydrated.
Humidifier: Using a humidifier can add moisture to the air, which can help soothe irritated airways and loosen mucus.
Breathing exercises: Certain breathing exercises can help improve lung function and reduce shortness of breath.

In more severe cases, Dr. Agarwal may prescribe additional treatment options such as:

Antibiotics: If a bacterial infection is suspected, antibiotics may be prescribed to fight the infection.
