Chronic Bronchitis.
Bronchitis affects the human body by causing inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which are responsible for carrying air to and from the lungs. When these airways become inflamed, they produce excess mucus, leading to persistent coughing, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, wheezing, and fatigue. Oxygen flow to the lungs may reduce, making daily activities difficult. In acute cases, bronchitis usually develops after viral infections, while chronic bronchitis can cause long-term breathing problems and increase the risk of lung infections if left untreated.
