Acute Bronchitis Treatment & Medication

Start Now $39.99

Acute bronchitis is a common condition characterized by a persistent cough, often lasting 1-3 weeks. Most cases of acute bronchitis go away on their own. We recommend rest, increased fluid intake, a cough suppressant and/or a pain reliever. A humidifier or steam may also help. Because viruses cause most cases, antibiotics are not generally used.

What Causes Acute Bronchitis?

It's often preceded by upper respiratory tract infection or the common cold caused by a respiratory virus and occasionally by a bacterial infection.
