The large and medium-sized airways in the lungs are named as bronchi. Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchi which causes coughing.
Bronchitis is of two types “Acute bronchitis” and “Chronic bronchitis.”
Acute bronchitis is caused by viral infections or by the bacterial infections. These infections can be spread through the air or by direct contact.
Chronic bronchitis is mostly caused by tobacco smoking, air pollution, and a minor amount of genetics plays a role in this disease. People with chronic bronchitis will have the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The problem of bronchitis can lead to asthma and problems related to the lungs.
