Once again my name is shegun ogundele uwagboe, a blogger dedicated to a better health for all. Enough of the stories lets get to the main topic why we are here.

The word Bronchitis definitely is a big word for all especially when we are not medical practitioners.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi (large and medium-sized airways) in the lungs it is a respiratory illness that causes inflammation of the tubes that carry air to the lungs (airways or bronchial tubes). When the airways become irritated, swollen and inflamed, less air is able to travel to and from the lungs and mucus begins to form in them. This generally causes an irritating cough that may be accompanied by shortness of breath, more mucus production and other bothersome symptoms.

and is divided into two types: acute and chronic.



Figure A shows the location of the lungs and bronchial tubes. Figure B is an enlarged view of a normal bronchial tube. Figure C is an enlarged view of a bronchial tube with bronchitis.

This is a very serious health issue because if adequate treatment is not given, too much secretion of mucus is caused and when there is an overgrowth of the mucus gland and infection can accompany this making it more complicated. The presence of virus or bacterial affects the mucous membrane lining of bronchial tubes, causing a lot of phegm(much mucus) to be formed

It is very important to note that chronic Bronchitis if left to linger on without adequate treatment might lead to tuberculosis or any other serious lungs disease.
