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.
