Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the air passages between the nose and the lungs, including the windpipe or trachea and the larger air tubes of the lung that bring air in from the trachea (bronchi), restricting air flow to and from the lungs. Acute, or short term, bronchitis is usually a viral infection, but can also be a bacterial infection and can heal without complications. Chronic, or long term, bronchitis is a sign of serious lung disease that may be slowed, but cannot be cured.

Why does a child keep getting pinworms when they are treated each time by prescription?
During infection, the pinworms lay many eggs which can get on clothes, bedding, and other surfaces in the house. These eggs remain infectious (meaning they are live eggs that can infect you) for up to two weeks. So you have to make sure to disinfect or throw away the clothing, sheets, and other things that the child has come in contact with or he/she can become sick again.

What can you feed a dog who has stopped eating due to bronchitis?
I'm presuming your dog has seen the Veterinarian hence how you know it is Bronchitis. If my memory serves me right, when my dog had Bronchitis and would not eat I fed him scrambled egg, grilled chicken with rice and even a omelet It's best to feed your dog light meals. Sometimes it helps to warm the food up slightly in a microwave for a couple of seconds (particularly when feeding tinned food) as the smell of the warm food seems to trigger a dogs saliva glands and results in him/her feeling hungry. Or failing that you can try adding some gravy to his/her food. If your dog is still not eating after 48 hours you will need to go back to your Veterinarian. If your dogs breathing becomes labored or he seems to be coughing or panting or wheezing more, make a appointment at your Veterinarian for that day. Unfortunately sometimes antibiotics will not teat a bronchitis infection on it's own and more intense medication is required such as steroids alongside antibiotics and on a worse case scenario, if there is no improvement it's possible that bronchitis can develop into pneumonia If you're concerned about your dog, please go back to your Veterinarian. At the end of the day you know your dog and you know if something is still not quite right with him. I hope your dogs better soon.

What are other names for bronchitis?
Bronchitis is a really bad cough that is still there after your cold/flu symptoms are gone.
I hope this helped! :) ,BlaizeI'm glad you took your dog to the vets and the vet probably gave you antibiotics for your dog. Keep your dog indoors and be sure they are warm. Laying on the floor (rug) with your dog (or if you don't mind them up beside you on blanketed couch) take rest periods. Be sure they have fresh water and pay attention to how much water they are drinking (they will have to urinate more so be prepared to let your dog out more) and go outside with them and bring them straight back in. Keep an eye on whether they are eating all their food or just a bit. For now your dog may just feel like a bit of food every so often and not eat it's food all at once and it's nothing to worry about. Don't allow children to bother them and let them rest. The antibiotics should knock the Bronchitis right out of your dog. Please let us know how your dog is doing in the next couple of days.

Does bronchitis make you back hurt?
No. Bronchitis relates to the throat. The severe coughing caused by bronchitis can lead to muscle pain in the back and surrounding the rib cage. You can discuss with your doctor if over the counter pain medication can alleviate this discomfort for you.
Can be dangerous if inhaled or absorbed through the skin?
Yes. If you are allergic to something, it is best to stay away from it completely. Depending on the severity of the allergy, some people will break out or have an allergic reaction just because they are near the thing they are allergic to. Others only have an allergic reaction if they eat the item they are allergic to. Make sure to ask your doctor about the severity of your allergy before you go near anything you are allergic to!
