Bronchitis...


I'm sick.. I have bronchitis.

Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses or bacteria and may last several days or weeks*. Acute bronchitis is characterized by cough and sputum (phlegm)** production and symptoms related to the obstruction of the airways by the inflamed airways and the phlegm, such as shortness of breath and wheezing. Diagnosis is by clinical examination and sometimes microbiological examination of the phlegm. Treatment may be with antibiotics (if a bacterial infection is suspected), bronchodilators (to relieve breathlessness) and other treatments.

I went to the doctor today and got a z-pack.. should be better in no time..


*hopefully not in my case
