Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. It can be acute or chronic, with acute bronchitis often caused by infections and chronic bronchitis typically resulting from long-term irritants like smoking. The inflammation leads to increased mucus production, coughing, and difficulty breathing, as the airways become narrowed and obstructed. Consequences on breathing can include wheezing, shortness of breath, and an increased risk of respiratory infections.
