Acute bronchitis is characterized by a sudden onset of symptoms, typically following a viral respiratory infection, and lasts for a short duration, usually less than three weeks. It is often marked by a persistent cough, mucus production, wheezing, and chest discomfort. Unlike chronic bronchitis, which is a long-term condition, acute bronchitis resolves with appropriate treatment and self-care measures. If symptoms persist beyond three weeks or recur frequently, further evaluation may be necessary to rule out other conditions.
Acute bronchitis is normally viral, and is not curable with antibiotics.
Acute bronchitis is also called a chest cold.

When treated, acute bronchitis normally resolves in one to two weeks without complications, although a cough may continue for several more weeks. The progression of chronic bronchitis, on the other hand, may be slowed.
Acute bronchitis is usually viral, and does not get better faster with antibiotics.

Yeah you can, but your recruiter will probably delay your enlistment until you recover. Believe me...you DON'T want to go to basic with bronchitis.
Symptoms of bronchitis typically appear within a few days to a week after exposure to irritants or infections, such as viruses or bacteria. The onset can vary depending on the individual's health, the cause of the bronchitis, and whether it's acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis often follows a cold or respiratory infection, while chronic bronchitis develops over time due to long-term exposure to irritants.
It depends on the type of bronchitis. If it is acute bronchitis then it is contraindicated. If it is chronic, and considered a COPD, then it is indicated in helping relieve sore chest muscles and also improving lung function by encouraging sputum.
