Bronchitis and Dry Cough

[size=4][b]Bronchitis and Dry Cough - Treatment May Help Asthma Sufferers[/b][/size][hr]According to research at Washington University in St. Louis, a two-drug treatment may some day help with restoring healthy breathing in people ill with asthma and chronic bronchitis.

Holtzman declared the discoveries are "pushing the rock a little further up the hill" when it comes to apprehension of airway diseases. He explained that at present doctors prescribe treatments that ease difficulties with breathing, but, unfortunately, those treatments don't influence on mucus production. Slang is one thing that has not been included in this composition on Chronic Bronchitis. It is because slang only induces bad English, and loses the value of English.

The researchers think that further testing of the treatments would take not less than a few years, but they claim that the combination of two drugs finally is able to preclude the pernicious transformation of these cells. It would allow the airways to function properly. We needed lots of concentration while writing on Chronic Bronchitis as the matter we had collected was very specific and important. Wink

Dr Michael Holtzman and other researchers discovered that some lining cells from the lungs air passages are able to change into another cell type, which leads to the overproduction of mucus in the airways. It was observed in mice and patients suffering from those disorders. The magnitude of information available on Bronchitis can be found out by reading the following matter on Bronchitis. We ourselves were surprised at the amount!

[b]Scientists examined mice with a lung condition similar to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a disease classification which includes chronic bronchitis. Big Grin[/b]

Quote:[list][*]They noticed that the airway lining kept an excess of goblet cells (mucus-producing cells) because of a cup-like shape.[*]The number of goblet cells increased as a result of two cellular mechanisms.[*]One mechanism let the cells live longer because of the cilia, small hairs that help remove remains out of the lungs.[*]The other mechanism provoked those cells to change into goblet cells.[*]Writing this composition on Bronchitis was a significant contribution of ours in the world of literature.[*]Make this contribution worthwhile by using it. [/list]

[size=large][b]Diseases Affect the Lives of People in an Adverse Way[/b][/size][hr]Therefore, it is necessary to develop healthy habits in order to prevent the occurrence of these diseases. Diseases are caused by both virus and bacteria; however, in certain cases, environmental conditions also play a major role in causing certain ailments. For instance, bronchitis, an ailment of the respiratory system, is both viral and bacterial bronchitis. Not many people can tell the difference between viral and bacterial bronchitis. Only a medical practitioner will be able to point out the differences between viral and bacterial bronchitis after a careful examination of the patient and the results of laboratory tests. Smile

[size=large][b]Normally, People Fall Sick Once in a While[/b][/size][hr]But if you live in polluted conditions and have unhealthy habits such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, you will fall ill many times. Make a serious effort toward good health, and while you are healthy, keep some money aside so that you can handle medical costs easily in case you fall ill.

[size=large][b]Develop Hygienic Habits to Keep Viral and Bacterial Bronchitis At Bay[/b][/size][hr]Get yourself vaccinated for flu because it lessens the risk of contracting viral and bacterial bronchitis. Avoid cigarettes, chemical fumes, smoke, and other pollutants because these are also the major causes of bronchitis. Keeping to the point is very important when writing. So we have to stuck to Viral Bronchitis, and have not wandered much from it to enhance understanding.

[list][*]Is not possible to treat a viral infection with antibiotics; attempts to do so will worsen your condition.[*]Before using any drug, consult your doctor and find out if it is safe for you to use that drug.[*]Cardio respiratory exercises help to regain normal lung function and to expel any excess mucus after the completion of the healing process.[*]We have used a mixture of seriousness and jokes in this composition on Viral Bronchitis.[*]This is to liven the mood when reading about Viral Bronchitis.[/list]

If, along with bronchitis, you have disorders such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, or COPD, home remedies will not suffice. Consult your doctor; he will draw up the perfect treatment plan for you. Doctors can do so by performing the required physical examination and studying your medical history. If your symptoms are mild, a stethoscope examination will suffice; however, if your symptoms are prolonged and severe, you need many more tests, such as chest x-rays. To err is human, to forgive is divine. So we would indeed deem you to be divine if you forgive us for any misunderstandings that may arise in this article on Causes Bronchitis.

[list][*]Case of bacterial bronchitis, your doctor will usually prescribe antibiotics such as tetracycline, amoxicillin, and erythromycin.[*]The antibiotic to be taken depends on the strain of the bacteria infecting your bronchial tubes.[*]When you are on antibiotic therapy, you may have side effects characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea.[*]Some bacteria are drug resistant, and recently, the FDA approved the use of a drug called gemiflaoxacin mesylate for such bacteria.[*]It comes in the form of a oral tablet that has to be taken daily for five days.[*]The side effects of this drug are diarrhea, skin rashes, and nausea.[*]It is always better to use simple English when writing descriptive articles, like this one on Bronchitis Doctor.[*]It is the layman who may read such articles, and if he can't understand it, what is the point of writing it?[/list]

[size=large][b]Care Should be Taken During the Healing Process[/b][/size][hr]You need to take a lot of rest and increase your fluid intake. Taking more liquids such as fruit juices, water, and soup helps liquify the phlegm and makes it easier for the body to expel it. In case of muscle pains, take acetaminophen. If the symptoms cause a great deal of distress, take cough suppressants or expectorants in order to liquify the mucus. Taking a warm shower or a hot bath also facilitates the expulsion of mucus. Smile

[size=large][b]Commonly, Viruses Cause Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]People with viral bronchitis suffer from difficulties in breathing, headache, pain, wheezing, and other symptoms, such as low-grade fever. Patients will have a persistent, nonproductive cough and will not feel that ill. Bacterial bronchitis, on the other hand, is a more dangerous condition. You will suffer from a high fever and a persistent, productive cough with dark, discolored, and thick mucus. Interesting is what we had aimed to make this article on Bacterial Bronchitis. It is up to you to decide if we have succeeded in our mission!

The American Lung Association states that in 2004, an estimated 4 million children under 18 years old have had an asthma attack in the past 12 months, and many others have "hidden" or undiagnosed asthma.

The most common signs and symptoms of childhood asthma are very similar to bronchitis and other respiratory infections. The symptoms include: 1. Coughing. The need to cough is created by mucus, which builds up and needs to be cleared. The mucus is usually caused by some type of infection or irritation. Coughing is symptomatic of many childhood and adult illnesses. Notice that although coughing is a symptom, the type of cough plays a role in understanding the cause.

Antibiotics for bronchitis are prescribed by doctors, but in many cases the condition does not benefit from antibiotics. Antibiotics will not cure a viral illness because acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses most doctors do not prescribe antibiotics. Their effectiveness with acute bronchitis is so small compared to the side-effects that these antibiotics may bring. Most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sore mouth, skin rashes, headache, sunburn easily and vaginal yeast infection. Experts in in the field of infectious disease have been warning for years that overuse of antibiotics is allowing many bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotics available. It is only because that we are rather fluent on the subject of Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis that we have ventured on writing something so influential on Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis like this!

The increase and improper used of antibiotics may also lead to antibiotic resistance in which the bacteria may mutate in ways so they will be able to survive in spite of medications; that means the antibiotics may not work on the next time that it is used. And since most antibiotics are expensive, costs may not be worth the benefits. Acute bronchitis usually clears up on its own in two to three weeks just by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough rest. Remember that it is very important to have a disciplined mode of writing when writing. This is because it is difficult to complete something started if there is no discipline in writing especially when writing on Types Bronchitis Smile

Doctors often prescribe antibiotics because they feel pressured by people's expectations to receive them. This expectation has been fueled by both misinformation in the media and marketing by drug companies. There are some antibiotics which are known for treating both acute and chronic bronchitis but also prescribed for other medical illness. Ampicillin is used for the treatment of infections that result from acute bronchitis. Trimethoprim is an antibiotic used for infections in the respiratory tract. Azithromycin and Amoxicilluin are considered effective treatment for bacterial infections causing bronchitis. Telithromycin is a drug used for mild to moderate infections in the respiratory system. Although there was a lot of fluctuation in the writing styles of we independent writers, we have come up with an end product on Bronchitis worth reading!

Proper medication is important in curing an illness, but it is also essential to use a reliable source of these medications, like your trusted physician. Antibiotics are medications that slow or stop the growth of bacteria. Prescriptions of antibiotics depends on what kind of infections causes your illness, like in the case of bronchitis there are specific antibiotics for this condition depending on the severity and status of the illness. Big Grin.

Acute bronchitis is very common among people with respiratory conditions. This type of bronchitis can occur in anyone, at any age. Acute bronchitis usually accompanies flu or cold and in most cases it doesn't need medical treatment. When acute bronchitis is caused by viruses, the illness can clear on itself within a few days. However, more serious forms of acute bronchitis may require specific medical treatment. If acute bronchitis is caused by infection with bacteria, an appropriate treatment with antibiotics is required for overcoming the illness.

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis Doesn't Last More Than a Few Weeks[/b][/size][hr]However, patients with acute bronchitis can sometimes experience an aggravation of their symptoms in time or they can develop chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a form of bronchitis that generates less intense symptoms, but the illness can lead to serious complications in time. Unlike acute bronchitis, which can clear on itself in a short period of time, chronic bronchitis persists in time and needs ongoing medical treatment.

Bronchitis causes inflammation, irritation and obstruction with mucus of the respiratory tract. The majority of patients who suffer from respiratory conditions are diagnosed with bronchitis. Bronchitis can be either acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis generates intense symptoms and evolves rapidly (has a short period of incubation), while chronic bronchitis generates moderate, time recidivating symptoms. Chronic Bronchitis came into being some time back. However, would you believe that there are some people who still don't know what a Chronic Bronchitis is? Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis can be Very Difficult to Diagnose[/b][/size][hr]The symptoms it generates are also characteristic to many other respiratory conditions (asthma, allergies, sinusitis). Acute bronchitis can be effectively diagnosed only through the means of elaborate physical examinations and laboratory analyses. It is of no use thinking that you know everything, when in reality, you don't know anything! It is only because we knew so much about Acute Bronchitis that we got down to writing about it!

Acute bronchitis is caused by viruses, it doesn't require medical treatment and usually ameliorates within a few days. Acute bronchitis generates symptoms like cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest soreness when breathing. When patients with acute bronchitis also have moderate or high fever, it is a sign of bacterial infection and therefore medical treatment with antibiotics is required. The presence of yellowish mucus in cough or spit can also point to infection with bacteria. If patients are coughing blood, it is a sign of complication (pneumonia) and immediate medical treatment is required. :o.

You suffer from acute bronchitis, it is advised to keep away from external irritants (dust, smoke, pollutants, chemicals), as they can aggravate the illness. If you have difficulty breathing, drink plenty of fluids (still mineral water, warm tea) and avoid taking left-over medicines! Self-medication can cause a lot of harm. Antibiotics shouldn't be administered without the doctor's permission and children shouldn't take aspirin or anti-inflammatory medicines when suffering from acute bronchitis. Use air humidifiers and maintain a warm temperature in your bedroom. If you are a smoker, stop! Smoking can cause serious damage to the respiratory system and smokers who suffer from acute bronchitis are also susceptible to developing chronic bronchitis. Bronchitis Symptom are basically interesting parts of our day-to-day life. It is only that sometimes, we are not aware of this fact!
