AnswerBronchitis is in the bronchial and in the lungs and MUST be treated with antibiotics before it turns into a humdinger of a case of pneumonia. Bronchitis is not contagious. I use to suffer from Bronchitis for 10 years and could count on it for each of those years. Antibiotics knocked it right out of me. When I went into menopause I ceased getting Bronchitis.

It is HIGHLY contagious actually!

Bronchitis is caused usually by bacterial or viral infections. However, it is contagious and can also be caused just by being in touch with the infected person. Second hand smoke can even result in accumulation of irritants in the air passage which in turn can result in bronchitis.

Is Bronchitis contagious?It is extremely true. It is contagious disease. The virus can transfer the disease when you sneeze or cough. In the initial stage, there is a swelling in the air passage. At this time, there is no formation of virus. When the bacteria released by the patients through sneeze and cough spreads through the air, the disease gets spread to others around. The infected person should consult a physician immediately and get medicines. Otherwise it leads to pneumonia too. Both the types of Bronchitis are contagious. The viral infection is powerful and it may affect the healthy people around through indirect and direct contacts.
