What is Bronchitis?
What is acute bronchitis?Acute bronchitis is an infection of the bronchial (say: “brawn-kee-ull”) tree. The bronchial tree is made up of the tubes that carry air into your lungs. When these tubes get infected, they swell and mucus (thick fluid) forms inside them. This makes it hard for you to breathe. You may cough up mucus and wheeze (make a whistling sound when you breathe).
