Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Bacterial Bronchitis?
A condition caused by bacterial infection that leads to inflammation of the bronchioles (air-carrying tubes in the lungs) and excessive mucus production.
Treatment of Bacterial Bronchitis
Antibiotics are needed to treat this condition. Bronchodilators may be used short-term to open airways and reduce wheezing. Corticosteroids in an inhaler are sometimes prescribed to help the cough go away and decrease inflammation.
