What Is Acute Bronchitis?

Acute bronchitis is a short-term inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to and from the lungs. It most commonly develops after a viral respiratory infection, such as a cold or the flu, and typically lasts a few weeks.

Acute bronchitis is different from chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is temporary and usually resolves on its own, while chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition often associated with smoking or chronic lung disease.
