Prolonged coughing, difficulty in breathing, mucus expectoration, pain in the chest, all these symptoms may indicate the initial stages of a respiratory disorder Bronchitis. This respiratory disease is characterized by the inflammation of bronchial tubes. Air passes from the trachea to the lungs through the bronchial tubes. The acute inflammation of bronchial tubes (Acute Bronchitis) usually follows an episode of cold or influenza caused by viral agents. The cold and influenza affect the upper respiratory system, including nose, sinuses, and larynx. In cases of maltreated or neglected cold or influenza, the infection travels in a downward direction and leads to inflammation of bronchial tubes, producing varying symptoms.

They are free from any side effects and there is absolutely no chance of suppression of symptoms in the homeopathic treatment of Bronchitis. Remedies for Bronchitis are natural medicines that help in the easy exit of the mucus from the bronchi. As the mucus is effortlessly thrown out with the help of properly selected medicines, the cough, chest pain and difficulty in breathing also begin to subside and almost finish consequently.

Causes Of Bronchitis
1. Acute Bronchitis: It commonly arises from viruses that cause common cold and flu (influenza). These viral infections are the cause behind 85-95 percent of all the acute bronchitis cases in adults.
Rarely, acute bronchitis can result from bacterial infections like chlamydia pneumoniae, mycoplasma pneumoniae, etc.
2. Chronic Bronchitis: The common reason for chronic bronchitis is cigarette smoking in about 90% of the cases. Passive smoking also increases the risk. Prolonged exposure to polluted air, dust or chemical fumes may also be one of the reasons. Repeated bouts of acute bronchitis also may turn into chronic bronchitis. Those having asthma or allergic tendency are also predisposed to chronic bronchitis.
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Bronchitis?
1. Cough is the main symptom. Initially, the cough can be dry. Afterward, the cough becomes productive which means loose cough with production of mucus. The mucus can be clear, white, yellow, green, grey in colour. At times, mucus is even blood-stained though very rarely. Cough may last from one week to three weeks.
2. Difficulty in breathing
3. Fever and chills
4. Wheezing or whistling sound from chest on breathing and chest congestion/discomfort /tightness
5. Weakness, fatigue
6. In acute bronchitis, symptoms like runny nose, blocked nose, sore throat, headache and body aches may be present.
Types of Bronchitis
Acute bronchitis (chest cold): It generally lasts for one week to ten days, but the cough may linger for two to three weeks in some cases.
Chronic bronchitis:Bronchitis is termed chronic, when cough along with mucus lasts for minimum three months in a year with recurrence at least in two consecutive years.
Risk factors
Though anyone can get infected by bronchitis, infants (babies less than one year of age), young kids (under 5yrs) and elderly people are at the highest risk. Other risk factors include low immunity, cigarette smoking, excessive exposure to dust, chemical fumes, air pollutants and acid reflux (where stomach acid back-flows in upward direction to throat and causes irritation predisposing a person to develop bronchitis)
Complications
In some cases, pneumonia (inflamed air sacs that get filled with fluid) may occur as a complication. It can be life threatening and required immediate medical attention.
Not a persistent cough, but coughing up phlegm, but not a lot; whiteish – slightly yellowish green. Tight or heavy chest, no fever or chills, feel better in a cool room or outside, nose seems to open up then. Trouble breathing in the middle of the night.

Have mucous in the throat that just doesn’t ever seem to clear, constantly trying to hawk or cough it up, constant trying to clear throat. Have had chronic sinusitis – sinus surgery to remove staph a few years ago, and find myself having to use a nose spray at night to reduce inflammation – which then I have overnight sinuses draining – and wake with the phlegm in throat that’s thick. Also, been producing a thick ball of mucus from each upper cavity daily or every other day since the first sinus infection set in 5 years ago, this daily ball of foul matter never went away even after the extensive (all 4 cavities cleared) surgery. Seems like just one ongoing infection. Ball is generally black, bloody, and a grey looking cold to the thick mucus intwined in the ball. Any recommendation and insight on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I have had extensive allergy testing and allergic to many foods, I avoid them, many plants, trees and grasses I cannot avoid, pollens, dust and so forth, which I do my best to reduce or avoid.
good
