Acute Bronchitis Symptoms and the Importance of Seeking Urgent Care

Acute bronchitis is among the common respiratory conditions that bring many people to urgent care facilities in downtown Sacramento. It’s a condition characterized by the irritation and swelling of the bronchi, two tube-like organs where air passes through into and out of each lung. The inflammation causes the bronchi to produce mucus, triggering cough. Those infected demonstrate a host of symptoms similar to that of a common cold, including sore throat, low fever, watery eyes, and coughing up of yellow to green mucus. Mild cold gone bad Acute bronchitis starts out as a common cold, but the symptoms may persist for more than 2 weeks. The consistent and forceful coughing leaves the chest and abdominal muscles feeling sore and without proper treatment, which can lead into chronic bronchitis (a condition that can last for months and even years) that would inflict scarring in the chest wall and other types of permanent damage to the respiratory system.

Downtown Sacramento Urgent Care Physicians: Saving Lives with Vaccines

A recent study bolsters the case for vaccination among children and even adults. Researchers from the MIT and the Boston Children's Hospital used historical data on vaccination rates to identify what may have sparked the recent measles outbreak from a single person in Disneyland to 142 people across the U.S. and even some from Mexico and Canada. The researchers explained that a 96% to 99% vaccination rate is necessary to prevent an outbreak of the measles virus. A child or adult with the disease can spread the infection to 11 to 18 other people. With the help of an elaborate mathematical analysis and case reports relevant to the outbreak, the research team discovered that only about 50% to 86% of the individuals exposed to the infection were vaccinated properly against it. The authors concluded that several parents’ refusal to vaccinate their kids may have fuelled this and subsequent outbreaks.
