<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Chronic Bronchitis Treatment</h2><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Amy Cheung</div><div class='uawarticle'><br />The chronic form of bronchitis, or simply chronic bronchitis, is described as a swelling and enlargement of the bronchi or air sacs present in the lungs. Some the signs consist of shortness of breath, coughs upon waking, as well as expectoration of mucus. The condition is labeled 'chronic' if it remains for a minimum of three months in a year, for 2 or more years. Though there isn't any medically established cure for this disease, there are numerous treatments that may produce results.<br />
<br />
Various inhalants can be recommended to reduce the inflammation of the bronchi, as well as improve breathing. There are also over the counter expectorants that patients suffering from this condition are often given to lower mucus quantities in their respiratory system. Antibiotics can also be prescribed to ease the infection in the upper region of the respiratory system. If other forms of treatment are found ineffective, corticosteroids are commonly used.<br />
<br />
Treatment of bronchitis should start with giving up cigarettes, and decreasing the level of airborne irritants present in your workplace and your home. It is also recommended that patients with this disease attempt to take better care of their health on the whole. This includes a healthy diet along with regular exercise. Healthy routines are always advised, and a patient with chronic bronchitis should consider taking these suggestions:<br />
<br />
<b>Drink the Recommended Amount Of Water Daily</b><br />
<br />
Drinking at least 8 glasses of water every day will thin out the mucus present in your respiratory system. This practice allows the mucus to be easier to cough up, as well as eases up your breathing. Steer clear of dairy products because they may cause excessive mucus production.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid Cough Suppressants</b><br />
<br />
When you cough up mucus, this indicates that your body is attempting to remove the excess mucus from your respiratory system. Excess mucus being coughed up is good for your body and should not be managed with cough suppressants. Further, stay away from such medications as decongestants and antihistamines as these can remove the mucus from your system, but consequently drying out your airways. As the mucus reappears it will be much thicker, resulting in worse symptoms ultimately.<br />
<br />
<b>Avoid Irritants</b><br />
<br />
Airborne irritants can intensify your chronic bronchitis. Avoid breathing in any perilous chemicals and vapors. Further, steer clear of dust and air pollutants to avert your symptoms from worsening.<br />
<br />
<b>Use Humidifiers And Vaporizers</b><br />
<br />
Humidifiers and vaporizers are excellent for improving your breathing, and keep the air sacs moist, thus allowing the mucus to thin out. If you are suffering from breathing difficulties, taking a hot shower or a bath can also help moisten the air passageways and ultimately lessen the symptoms.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
