It’s the 4th day of my bronchitis attack but it feels like 2 weeks now. I feel like crap for luck of sleep and my laryngitis is driving me nuts too. I am totally a reject person ! When it comes to health issue, I grow-up a sick person and their nothing I can do about it. No matter how I tried to keep healthy and avoid things that can make me sick are seems not enough.
I eat healthy food, take multi-vitamins, no vices and do what I should need to be doing…I guess, it’s because my immune system is whack and out of place! Oh well, embrace what it’s coming and suffer the consequences of being alive .
For your information:
WHAT IS BRONCHITIS?
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, or bronchi (the air passages that extend from the windpipe into the lungs). The inflammation may be caused by a virus, bacteria, smoking or the inhalation of chemical pollutants or dust. When the cells of the bronchial-lining tissue are irritated beyond a certain point, the tiny hairs (cilia) within them, which normally trap and eliminate pollutants stop functioning. Consequently, the air passages become clogged by debris and irritation increases. In response, a heavy secretion of mucus develops, which causes the characteristic cough of bronchitis.
Bronchitis is classified as either acute or chronic. In acute bronchitis, the causative agents are viruses, symptoms typically last 7- 21 days, are preceded by a “cold”, and resolve without treatment other than over the counter products. Chronic bronchitis is a component of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is defined by the chronic nature of the cough, which usually is productive, and has lasted for at least 3 months per year for at least 2 years.
