Among the population there is an opinion that bronchitis is a cold illness. Recently, scientists have not categorically agree with this. The cold air itself does not cause a disease. If it were so, then the people of Chukotka, the Far North should be all clouded from a cold.

According to statistics, the percentage of diseases by bronchitis in autumn and spring is approximately the same in Australia, Finland, the United Kingdom. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the pulmonary system of man, in particular bronchi, poorly tolerates harsh fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Bronchitis is called inflammatory disease of the bronchial mucosa.

The bronchi system is an extensive network of alveolar process (bronchiols, alveoli), by which the air is delivered to the pulmonary system, and from there oxygen enters blood.

In the development of the inflammatory process in bronchi, the mucus accumulates, which makes the delivery of air into the lungs.

Why does bronchitis appear?

The main cause of bronchitis is a virus or a microbe. Therefore, the peak of the disease falls on the autumn, the spring period.

In addition, the occurrence of illness contributes:

• infectious foci in the body;
• allergic factor (long-term contact with various allergens: dust, tobacco smoke, evaporation);
• low resistance to the body disease;
• chronic pathology of the pulmonary system;
• tuberculosis;
• bacteria (staphylococci, streptococci);
• supercooling of the body.

In most cases, bronchitis is mixed. Therefore, treatment should be complex, to complete recovery.

What happens bronchitis?

There is a primary bronchitis. It develops as an independent disease. Pathology from other bodies is not observed. Secondary bronchitis is considered by the doctor as a complication against the background of the main disease (ORZ, inflammation of the lungs, ENT disease).

Bystuch, distinguish:

1. which occurs against the background of infectious, viral diseases and in competent therapy is fully cured for 1 month.
2. which appears if acute bronchi is incorrectly or not enough. It has a protracted character leads to complications.

Depending on the cause of the disease, the disease is classified as follows:

View of bronchitis	Short description
Allergic	It develops when allergen gets into the bronchial system. By classification falls under one of the forms chronic bronchitis. Often the very beginning of the disease occurs in childhood when poorly developed the immune system It cannot confront the attack of pathogens, errors in nutrition. The reaction to the various components of food, the environment begins
Tuberculosis	Develops as a complication of a tuberculosis process in the body or when hitting koche in the respiratory system by air-droplet
Viral	Diagnosed against the background of viral infections. The probability of getting sharply increases while in places of large cluster of people (especially during the flu epidemic)
Toxic (professional)	It is observed with constant inhalation of irritating substances. The risk group includes workshops such as metallurgy, chemical, mining, food, woodworking industry. The constant ingress of dust to the surface of the bronchi leads to the border of bronchiol. What, in turn, contributes to the active formulation of mucus, the difficulty of its removal from the bronchi. In the launched form, this bronchitis is called "Makhrov". In this case, except cough, such symptoms such as belly spasm, chest pain, skin itch
Bacterial	Provokes to the presence of an infectious focus in the body of the patient (tonsillitis). This type of bronchitis is often manifested as a complication of a viral disease. The weakened organism is not able to cope with the pathogenic bacteria that begin to multiply strongly. Most often there is a defeat of streptococci of various species, a blue rod, staphylococcal
Fungal	Diagnosed with extremely rarely. The disease cause fungi, which fell into bronons with air or a painful hearth in the body. Such a disease are subject to people with low immunity, which held a long course of antibiotics

As a separate look, exists. It occurs in the form of a mixed form. The cause of the disease becomes viruses, bacteria, adverse environmental factors (tobacco smoke, industrial emissions to the atmosphere), constant inhalation of polluted air in the workplace. In the risk group, workers of chemical enterprises, hot shops, miners, allergies.

Consider each variety.

Allergic

It is one of the manifestations of allergies. According to signs, the disease is often confused with bronchial asthma. The final diagnosis can only be delivered by the doctor. The disease is manifested as follows:

• dry cough, mainly in the second half of the night;
• there is an interconnection of the occurrence of disease and contact with the alleged allergen (dust, animal wool, tobacco smoke, pollen of plants);
• may be the appearance of sneezing, tears, discharge from the nose;
• dyspnea, exhale difficult;
• in the lungs, wheezing wheezing wheezing, which are heard without a phonenendoscope.

The state of other organs - without changes, blood tests and urine - within the normal range.

Tuberculosis

It is detected in the presence of koche sticks in the body. In most cases proceeding on the background of the pulmonary tuberculosis.

It has typical symptoms:

• "Live" cough, amplifying in a lying position;
• shortness of breath when walking and at rest;
• the feeling of burning, painful sensations for the sternum and between the blades;
• viscous, hardwater wet, often with blood admixture;
• general malaise, weakness, fast fatigue;
• increased body temperature is not observed.

For most symptoms, the disease is similar to conventional bronchitis, bronchial asthma. Incorrect diagnostics are fraught with hazardous complications.

Viral

This type of bronchitis appears as a result of the virus in the upper respiratory tract. Posted on the mucous membrane, it begins to multiply strongly, it gets into bronchi, causes inflammatory process. For infection, it is enough to talk to a sick person. The virus is transmitted through air with saliva particles.

Recognize following the following features:

• a sudden increase in body temperature, often - above 38 ° C;
• muscle, headaches;
• unpleasant feeling behind the sternum;
• dry strong cough, which in a few days is replaced by wet with difficultly expectant wet yellowish color;
• general weakness;
• shortness of breath when walking;
• breathing is difficult, when listening to the lungs, whistles and wheezing are marked.

Depending on the strain of the virus, the state of the immune system may occur in light, medium, heavy form.

Toxico-chemical

This type of bronchitis is also called "professional." The cause of the disease is dust particles and chemical compounds in the air at factories, enterprises, factories. Professional bronchitis has three stages of development:

1st stage:

• Dyspnea appears only after physical activity.
• Dry cough, rare, with a small amount of sputum.
• Sometimes dry wheels are listening.
• The general condition is satisfactory.

2nd stage:

• Fresh, bredit dry cough.
• Dyspnea even after light load.
• The sputum is difficult, with exacerbation, it has purulent.
• Radiograph chest Shows changes in the drawing of the bronchial tree.
• Periodic seasonal exacerbations.

3rd stage:

• Wet cough with a lot of sputum arises at any time of the day.
• Dyspnea remains even at rest.
• Asthmatic syndrome is observed.
• X-ray shows changes in the lungs.
• Violations are recorded in the work of the heart, lungs.
• The patient feels constant weakness, fatigue, a significant decrease in working capacity.
• During the year, there is a repeated exacerbation of a disease with severe.

Permanent penetration of dust particles in bronchi is the main catalyst for toxic-chemical bronchitis.

Bacterial

Often the reason for the manifestation of bacterial bronchitis is the presence of chronic tonsillitis in the history.

Signs of bronchitis:

• weakness, lubrication in the whole body;
• nausea;
• headache;
• subfebrile temperature (not always);
• frequent cough, especially at night;
• difficult grottoes of greenish color with an unpleasant smell.

The state of other organs and systems remains unchanged.

Fungal

The main symptoms of the disease:

• sharp increase in temperature to high digits;
• breastpiring pain;
• long non-dry dry, gradually passed into wet, cough;
• the sputum is difficult, it is purulent;
• awacing, constant feeling of fatigue.

The fungal bronchitis is more common in AIDS patients.

Obstructive

The disease at which a violation of the ventilation of the lungs, the obstruction of the respiratory tract. In the development of obstructive bronchitis, distinguish the acute and chronic form of the disease. The sharp form is more often in young children. Chronic diagnosed in an adult population.

Signs of acute bronchitis:

• Headache, weakness.
• Dyspnea. In a child, the neck muscles, the upper shoulder belt, the abdomen are involved in the child. During breathing, the wings of the nose.
• Wars dry, whistling, are well auditioned without a phonenendoscope.
• Dry cough, amplifying at night.
• The body temperature is slightly elevated - 37 ... 37.5 ° C.

The reason for the manifestation of acute bronchitis can be a banal cold. Often, bronchitis proceeds with signs of intoxication (nausea, diarrhea, temperature). In this case, the child needs to eliminate the likelihood of infectious diseases.

Signs of chronic bronchitis:

• the general condition is satisfactory;
• wet cough, amplifying in the morning;
• the sputum has a mucous, purulent nature, is separated with difficulty, small portions;
• wheezing wheezing, audible at a distance;
• dyspnea - the degree of its severity varies widely, depends on the severity of the disease.

In the chronic form of bronchitis, three degrees of respiratory failure are isolated, which are determined by spirometry. Treatment of chronic bronchitis in adults can delay for several months.

Diagnostics

If you felt bad, it is impossible to carry the disease on the legs, hope that it will take place.

When should I contact a doctor?

At the first signs of the disease, it is necessary to immediately go to the specialist. Such symptoms like chills, shortness of breath, adsatory cough, severe weakness, should alert and be a serious incentive for a visit to the physician.

If a child fell ill - you need to call a doctor to the house. A hike in the clinic, a queue for reception can be an impetus for a child to deteriorate.

What doctor to contact bronchitis?

The patient will treat a pediatrician. An adult man on the primary reception should sign up for a precinct therapist. In the future, the patient can be sent to consultation to the pulmonologist. It all depends on the effectiveness of the treatment, general status patient.

For accurate diagnosis, observation in the treatment process, the correct purpose of therapy is carried out by a complex of medical and diagnostic research.

1. Radiography of the lungs helps to identify possible diseases, changes in the lungs.
2. Bronchoscopy makes it possible to inspect bronchi from the inside, take a sputum analysis to study.
3. Spirometry is needed to establish the severity of bronchitis, the presence of respiratory failure.
4. Common blood test, urine, biochemical analysis Blood is allowed to monitor the body's condition, correlate treatment.
5. Wet analysis makes it possible to eliminate such diseases such as oncology, tuberculosis, pneumonia.
6. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is assigned to eliminate diseases of the cardiovascular system, monitoring the work of the heart during treatment.

Medic picks up medications individually, depending on the age, the flow of the disease, the presence of contraindications.

Treatment of children

In childhood, bronchitis takes place harder than adults. This is explained by the rapid muscles, not well developed by the immune system. The baby simply does not know how to pull the wet wet correctly, and this significantly reduces the ability of the bronchi to be cleaned of its accumulation.

The appointment of antibiotics to the child is shown only as a last resort.

Let's kid more drink more (tea, morse, juice). Abundant drink speeds up the removal of sputum.

If the temperature rose, give the antipyretic syrup.

In the room there must be wet cleaning, ventilation. Remember that the disease loves dryness and heat.

A small patient cannot be given expectorant means and make inhalation during the exacerbation. Baby, without knowing how to fuse mucus, it just chages it.

Treatment of teenagers

In adolescence, the child does not always draw attention to the first signs of the disease. Leads ordinary life, hoping that everything will pass. Therefore, adults should be carefully referring to changes in the behavior of the child. At the first signs of the disease, it is necessary to insist on the pediatrician consultation.

Medicines to adolescents are prescribed according to age.

Control over treatment is fully imposed on adults. Usually, at the first signs of improving teenagers try to see from the adoption of therapeutic procedures. Adults imputed to the obligation to trace that the therapeutic course was completely passed to complete recovery.

Treatment of pregnant women

Bronchitis during pregnancy represents a threat to a woman and developing in the womb of the fetus. Respiratory failure affects the well-being of a future mother, creates a threat to oxygen hypoxia, stopping in the child's development.

The appointment of antibiotics, potent, hormonal means of the future mother produce only in extreme cases. Most drugs are contraindicated pregnant, so the doctor prescribes herbal fees (breast fees), cough syrup vegetable origin ("Sinuperet", ""), inhalation, abundant drink.

In extreme cases, it can be written ("Amoxicillin").

Treatment of elderly

Bronchitis for the older generation people is a serious test. The state of organs and systems is far from perfect. There is an old "bouquet of diseases". In the process of the treatment of bronchitis, you have to stop exacerbation of already available ailments.

Therefore, when appointing therapy, the physician must carefully monitor the compatibility of drugs discharged.

Treatment methods

At the first signs of the disease, refer to the therapist. After the inspection, you will be given directions for a survey, a consultation of narrow specialists, has been prescribed treatment, which includes medications, inhalation, massage, diet, physiotherapy, phytotherapy.

Medications

For quick recovery, comprehensive treatment is necessary:

• antibiotics (amoxiclav, cefotaxim, azithromycin);
• anti-inflammatory funds (indomethacin, dexamethasone);
• mukolitiki (Bromgexin, Atsz, Ambroxol);
• expectorant drugs (ascoril, acetylcysteine);
• bronchievous (Teotard, Salbutamol, Eufillin);
• antiviral (remantine, cycloferon);
• antitussive (Berodual, Broncholitin);
• vitamin complexes.

When receiving each medication, you need to adhere to the correct dosage, the method of application.

Folk remedies

Many recipes, choose according to your tastes. Do not forget about contraindications.

Complications

With a long-term course of the disease in the lungs and bronchops, serious changes occur. The mucosa as a result of constant inflammation changes its structure. This leads to the emergence of complications. The reasons are usually such:

• incorrectly diagnosed;
• self-treatment, uncontrollable antibiotics;
• not fully completed the course of therapy;
• age - in old people and babies the disease occurs heavier;
• a history of other chronic diseases;
• low immunity;
• abuse of smoking and alcohol.

Consider the most frequent consequences.

Asthma

Most often, an allergic (with long-term intake of antibiotics) is manifested, bronchial (with deep damage to the mucous membrane of the bronchial tree). The main symptoms are shortness of breath and attacks of choking, removed only by special medicines. In the presence of asthma, medications should be applied with caution and in the case of contraindications, it should be replaced with analogs.

Emphysema lungs

May occur in patients with chronic bronchitis form. In this case, gas exchange is broken. Air begins to accumulate air, the appearance of numerous air bags leads to the inflatation of pulmonary fabric. The patient has shortness of breath, cyanosis of the skin, feeling of the lack of air. With such a complication, urgent hospitalization is shown.

Bronchopneumonia

Against the background of bronchitis there is inflammation of the lungs. Danger consists in the impossibility of controlling the inflammatory process. With a low immunite, a weakened organism is a fatal outcome.

In children, the complications of bronchitis lead to life-lifelong drugs, the need for several times a year to undergo rehabilitation in the sanatorium, restricting physical activity.

Prevention

To prevent recurrence of the disease, possible complications show a number of preventive measures aimed at strengthening the body, the ability to resist pathogenic factors.

TO preventive measures relate:

• rejection of bad habits (smoking, alcohol);
• strengthening the body's immune system: systematic hardening, sports, use of herbal infusions, oxygen cocktails, frequent walks in the fresh air, in the forest, park;
• timely treatment diseases;
• diet. Try to take food systematically, at the same time. Refuse smoked, oily, sharp, fried, heavy for stomach food. Try to introduce into your diet fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, seafood;
• permanent air humidity at home. Do not allow (especially in winter) air dryness. Make a wet cleaning in the rooms every day, control the humidity with a barometer;
• invalidness of the supercooling of the body. Dress up the weather.

In the season mass outbreak of colds, try not to appear in the places of large cluster of the people.

Remember that the disease is easier to prevent than cure.

Clinical examination. After conversation with you, questions about your complaints and timing of their identification, the doctor will begin a clinical examination. To do this, you have to undress to the belt. This is necessary for inspecting your chest physician.

AuscultationManufactured using a special tool - stethoscope. When breathing, air, passing through the respiratory tract, creates specific sounds that are captured by a stethoscope and are transmitted through the system of flexible tubes into the ears of the doctor. Thanks to this study, you can reveal wheezing, noises, clocks of the lungs. This will allow the doctor to diagnose bronchitis and differentiate this disease with a nearby disease symptoms (tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchial asthma). With bronchitis, rigid breathing (a more distinct sound of air passage through aerial paths) is detected, and when forming a sufficient amount of sputum in the aerial paths, scattered whears over the pulmonary cloth are clearly heard.

General blood analysis - The results of this survey serve as a criterion for the diagnosis of the infectious and inflammatory process in the body.

With viral bronchitis, there is a decrease in the total number of immune cells, the acceleration of ESP. When connected bacterial infection or in case the bronchitis is originally caused by bacteria, painting general analysis The blood is different - a pronounced increase in the level of leukocytes is detected due to the immature forms (pulmonary) neutrophils, an increase in the values \u200b\u200bof the EEE.

Radiography of the chest. At the X-ray, the bronchitis is revealed to strengthen the roar drawing of the bronchi. At the same time, large bronchi, which are located closer to the middle line of the chest look more contrast.

Bronchoscopy.As a rule, it is made in chronic bronchitis, when it is required to diagnose the shape of chronic bronchitis, eliminate intrabrocheal neoplasm or remove the foreign body from bronchi.
The study is performed using a special apparatus - bronchoscope. Which consists of a flexible fiber optic part, which is introduced into the air pathways - through the mouth, larynx in the trachea and bronchi. Visual information is transmitted via the fiber optic conductor to the receiving device and is displayed on the monitor screen in real time.

Treatment of bronchitis

Bed regime - Do not interfere with the body to fight the disease. Treatment of acute bronchitis is made only under the observance of the beddown. Increased body temperature indicates that the body needs a rest in order to actively deal with infection.

Abundant drink - intoxication syndrome is primarily eliminated by the active hydration of the body. Abundant drinking is the key to the prevention of the dehydration of the body (the increased body temperature contributes to dehydration), as the active work of the kidneys allows the excess of the incoming fluid to actively output toxins. In addition, abundant warm drinks contributes to the philot of sputum and its speedy elimination. Preference should be given herbal teas, fresh juices and plates.

Diet with bronchitis

As with all infectious inflammatory diseases, the diet should be enriched with antioxidants (A, C, E) with antioxidants (A), easily digestible proteins (boiled chicken breast meat, veal, low-fat varieties of fish).

The diet should be enriched with fresh vegetables and fruits, nutrition should not be excessive - daily calorie food should not exceed 3000 kcal. The fact is that the splitting of food, in particular proteins, requires the costs of a large amount of energy and increasing the activity of all structures of the digestive system. In the congestion of infection, it is not worth distracting this work. However, and for the work of the immune system is needed energy and protein, because in this case it is necessary to observe a reasonable balance.

The room in which the patient is located should be light, ventilated and warm. The air in the room should be sufficiently moistened. It is desirable that all sorts of chemical evaporations in the air be excluded. The fact is that with the bronchitis, the mucosa of the bronchi is inflamed and defenseless for all kinds of microbes and dust. Therefore, the dynamics of the disease depends on the quality of air.

Medical and physiotherapy treatment of bronchitis must be comprehensive and pursue several goals:

Immunity stimulation with bronchitis

The state of immunity is determining in the dynamics of the disease factor. Actually, the decrease in immunity in many cases and leads to the development of bronchitis. To increase protective properties, it is necessary primarily to normalize your emotional background (avoid stress, and neuropsychic overloads), organize balanced diet and lead an active lifestyle. However, in a sharp period without drug stimulation, immunity cannot do.

Vitamins - Assistants of the immune system. To do this, it is worth starting to take vitamins from the antioxidant group (A, C, E). These vitamins help the immune system to fight the damaging effect of toxins, accelerate the processes of removal of toxic substances, contribute to the restoration of tissue damaged due to disease.

Immunostimulants of plant origin. Currently, there are many drugs of this group, we present the mechanism of action by the drug Immunal. This drug contains Echinacea plants extracts. The mechanism of impact on the body is to stimulate the reproduction of leukocytes and stimulation of absorption by immune cells infectious agents. Due to this action, in most cases, the periods of complete recovery of the patient are reduced. However, like all immunostimulating drugs, the appointment of immunal should occur only after the personal consultation of the attending physician of the specialist. Unfortunately, the drug has a number of restrictions on the use and list of side effects. Only the doctor is able to determine possible contraindications and appoint an optimal course of treatment with this drug.

Stimulation of sputum removal

The sputum resulting in the process contains viruses, lunned cells of bronchial epithelium, leukocytes with absorbed bacteria and plenty of mucus. The early removal from the lumen of the bronchi of this sputum leads to the restoration of the patency of the respiratory tract and detoxification of the body. In order to speed up the process of cleansing bronchi from sputum with the same success, drug drugs and folk methods are used. Let's start the description of treatment with widely used folk methods: mustard, cans on the back, rubbing.

Mountains at bronchitis

Answers to frequently asked questions on the use of mustards at bronchitis. What is the medical mechanism of the action of mustard pieces with bronchitis?

The mechanism of action of mustard pieces is based on the reflex stimulation of the secretion of the gland glands. The thing is that innervation internal organs Connected innervation of certain areas of skin. Irritation and warming these areas of the skin are able to cause vascular reactions in the relevant organs. When warming up mustard chemical skin irritation occurs, it causes a local extension of the vessels of the skin. At the same time, due to this, reflexively, the extension of blood vessels occurs, blood supplying bronchi, which contributes to a more active formation of sputums with its subsequent elimination.

Stages of the imposition of mustard

	1.	Washer and wiping the skin. Before applique must be cleaned and moisturized the skin. To do this, it can be wiped with a wet sponge (warm water).
	2.	The patient's position should be either on the back (when applying mustard pieces on the chest) or lying on the stomach with an elevated head of the body (when the mustard pieces are superimposed on the back).
	3.	The superimposition of the mustard must be preceded by the preparation of the required material: mustard, a plate or a basin with warm water, a blanket and a towel.
	4.	After laying the patient, it is necessary to lower the mustarder for a few seconds in warm water. After extracting, it must be immediately applied to the skin. After applining all mustard pieces to a given area, it is necessary to get into the outer side of the mustard pieces with a sponge or cloth and cover the warming area with a clean towel. After applying mustard pieces on the chest, the patient can turn over and prepare the back for the applixation of mustard pieces on this area. Now the procedure can be repeated.

Banks on the back, how to use correctly?

Surely, for everyone in childhood it was an unusually exciting procedure, when heated banks appeared on his back, which created an unusually pleasant feeling of warmth and tightening the skin. After each such procedure, the skin of the back acquired, the intricate pattern in the polka dot, very reminding that in God's cow or a moon. However, in addition to aesthetic effect, the applique of cans is good method The treatment of bronchitis. In fact, the mechanism of action of cans is similar to those at the mustard pieces. Local mechanical and thermal irritation of the skin leads to a reflex extension of the vessels of the relevant organs, which leads to an increase in the blood circulation of the internal organ.
Stages of appliqués cans

	1.	It is necessary to prepare everything you need for the procedure: a set of cans, alcohol medical, medical clamp or wand, cotton or gauze tampon, a large warm towel.
	2.	Before heating cans, it is necessary to inspect them - the presence of a defect in glass can lead to the fact that when heating the bank is burst.
	3.	The patient should lie on the stomach with a raised head end of the body.
	4.	Ward or gauze tampon must be mixed and fixed on a stick or clamp.
	5.	The ignition of the swipon moistened in alcohol leads to its immediate fire.
	6.	Now alternately needs to make a burning tampon inside the banks. In the bank, the burning tampon must not be long - a few seconds.
	7.	Next, you need a heated jar immediately press the skin hermetically. As you cool inside the bank, a vacuum is created, which ensures attracting properties.
	8.	After all banks are installed, it is necessary to cover with a warm towel or a blanket over cans.
	9.	Within 10 minutes, the patient must lie and try not to produce any movements. It can disrupt the tightness of the contact of banks and skin.
	10.	Removing cans also has its own characteristics. To do this, it is enough to ensure the access of atmospheric air inside the jar. As a rule, banks are removed when it is tilted to the side. You need to shoot banks alternately.

Inhalation, nebulizers, types of inhalation

It is the easiest and effective method Impacts directly on the damaged surface - on the bronchi mucosa. Due to the effects of warmed and moisturized air on the wall of the bronchi, it is heating and moisturizing. This leads to the expansion of vessels, blood supplying bronchi, which activates the processes of wetting and the removal of infection (the rejection of the bronchial tree). In the case of inhalation using essential oils, drugs or alkalis, the effect is enhanced by the properties of additional ingredients.

Inhalations can be carried out with modern means - inhalers or nebulizers.

Nebulaizers - These devices create fine air suspension, which ensures a stable concentration of the smallest droplets of the fluid in the inhaled air. The device independently supports the temperature of the inhaled air, which makes it possible to carry out inhalations daily at a convenient time for you.

What drugs can be used for inhalation when bronchitis?

Inhalation of Luke or Garlic juice. For this inhalation, it is necessary to squeeze 0, 5 ml of bow or garlic juice, dilute it with 5-10 ml of water. The resulting solution can be placed in a nebulizer for inhalation. Inhalation duration 5-10 minutes.

Alkaline inhalation . To prepare these inhalations, it is necessary to prepare an alkaline solution. At home, it is not possible to do it: it is necessary to dissolve ½ drinking soda in 200 milliliters of warm water. Also for inhalation you can use mineral waters with alkaline environment (Yessentuki, Narzan, Borjomi). Inhalation duration 5-10 minutes.

Antibacterial or antiviral treatment

This medication is appointed only by the attending physician. The fact is that even an experienced doctor is sometimes difficult without a comprehensive examination, determine the causal bronchitis factor (viral, bacterial infection or pathology is caused by air pollution). We present information about some drugs that are used in the fight against bronchial infection.

Antiviral drugs

Arbidol. - This drug prevents the virus penetration into the affected cell, which leads to a decrease in infectious damage and accelerate the patient's recovery. Also, this drug stimulates the production of interferon, which mobilizes the immune system to combat infection.

Drug diagram: adults are prescribed with bronchitis in a dosage of 0.2 g 3 times a day. The duration of active treatment is 5 days, further maintaining treatment with 0.2 g 1 time per week (the duration of supporting treatment is 3-4 weeks).

Currently, there are many antiviral drugs that block the reproduction of the virus (Amantadine / Rimantadine) and prevent its propagation in the body (Tamiflu). However, the treatment with these drugs can only be prescribed by the attending physician. To do this, it must exclude possible contraindications, and regular monitoring of the process dynamics will prevent the appearance of side effects.

Antibiotics at bronchitis

As a rule, bronchitis is accompanied by a bacterial damage of the bronchial tree. Even if the illness was originally caused by the lesion of the mucosa of the bronchi with the influenza virus, paragripping or rinovirus, then the bacterial lesion is attached. Therefore, the treatment of bronchitis should always be comprehensive and undergoing supervision of the attending physician. The purpose of antibiotics is able to significantly reduce the activity of a bacterial infection, up to its complete destruction.

Before appointing treatment requires personal advice of the attending physician!

Antipyretic when accepting them?

The use of antipyretic in some cases is the necessary measure. However, not everyone understands the fact that an increase in body temperature during bronchitis is not an additional disease that needs to be merciless. Increased body temperature in the infectious process is only protective reaction Immune system. The change temperature mode leads to deterrence of the spread of infection. However, in some cases, the temperature increases from under control of the central nervous systemAnd an excessively high temperature damages the whole body. In these cases, the reception of the antipyretic is necessary.

Conditionally, an indicator for the use of antipyretic can be determined the temperature of 38.5 degrees. In most cases, the temperature increase over these numbers adversely affects the work of the central nervous system and can cause functional disorders.

The antipyretic drugs block the reaction, as a result of which the body forms many supporting inflammation of special substances (prostaglandins). A decrease in the concentration of synthesized pro-inflammatory substances in the systemic blood flow occurs. Therefore, the intensity of the impact of prostaglandins is reduced to the center of thermoregulation in the brain. Due to this, the temperature level that is regulated by the special structures of the brain is installed on acceptable values \u200b\u200b(below 38.5 degrees).

Bronchita prevention

For the prevention of bronchitis, you need to observe a number of non-hard rules. Of course, their observance does not guarantee that bronchitis you will not get sick, but to reduce the incidence of this disease, they will help:

Balanced diet
Active lifestyle
Sport
Exception of neuropsychic and physical overwork
Cold and hot shower and hardening

Exclusion of smoking (active and passive)
Avoiding places with high content in the air of chemicals and dust.
Timely treatment of runny nose, sinusitis, laryngitis and other chronic diseases of the air pathways.

These measures will maintain high-level protective properties of airways, which will be good prevention of the penetration of affecting factors into the lower respiratory tract. Well-moisturized, warmed, purified from dust and microbes air allows you to work bronchoms in normal mode.

In conclusion I would like to add that the treatment of bronchitis, as a rule, is made at home. At the same time, the creation of optimal conditions for the patient is the most important task for other family members. Organization of rational nutrition, inhalation or the use of mustard pieces, and just a warm atmosphere in the house will help the patient to cope with infection. Timely consultation of the doctor's doctor will eliminate possible complications of the disease and appoint adequate drug treatment.

What are the symptoms of bronchitis in infants?

When the first symptoms of bronchitis, breast children need to consult a doctor. The fact is that the disease can cause a very dangerous complication - pneumonia. It is important that the pediatrician will not only diagnose, but also regularly examined the child, otherwise you can skip the deterioration of the condition, which happens even with a proper treatment.

Symptoms of bronchitis in infants

• Dry cough, Which began against the background of complete health. Cough without a cold - a serious reason to consult a doctor. After 2-3 days, the cough is enhanced and becomes wet.
• Temperature increase. In children up to the year, it increases over 38-39 degrees. In some children, the temperature rise may be insignificant to 37.5. Dry cough without temperature - a sign of allergic bronchitis.
• Manifestation of intoxication. The baby is sluggish, plastic, apathetic, he eats badly, his sleep is disturbed. With bronchitis caused by bacteria, children suffer from strong intoxication, and the bronchitis of viral etiology is usually transferred easier. With an allergic bronchitis, the child's condition remains normal.
• Wheezing and hard breath The doctor reveals when listening to the chest. Breath is difficult, whistles are heard on exhale. If whistling wheezing in the chest is heard with the "unarmed ear" without a phonendoscope, this indicates obstructive bronchitis in infants.

Why occurs obstructive bronchitis in children?

Bacteria, viruses or allergens penetrate bronchi with air flow. They settled on the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract and annoy it. In response to this bronchi mucous glands allocate a large amount of mucus to wash out alien particles. If the evacuation of the mucus is broken, it thickens and sticks to the wall of the bronchus, narrowing his lumen - develops obstruction Or blocking bronchi (it can be complete or partial). At the same time, the air barely passes through the narrowed bronchus in the lung alveoli. They create favorable conditions for the reproduction of microorganisms, and may develop inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia).

In addition, special substances are distinguished in inflamed mucosa of bronchi. They penetrate the smooth muscle layer of bronchi and annoy his receptors, causing spasm - a sharp reduction in circular muscles. As a result, the bright lumen can completely overlap. In this case, it is necessary to urgently use antispasmodic drugs (eufillin) or inhalation of steroid hormones (bulvikort, flixotide).

If obstructive bronchitis in children is accompanied by increased temperatureThis says he is associated with viruses or bacteria. Therefore, antibiotics (amoxicillin clavulanate, cephalexin, cefaclor) are included in the treatment regimen. Indications for their use:

• mucous-purulent or purulent nature of sputum;
• high temperature Over 3 days;
• pronounced intoxication.

In the event that obstructive bronchitis in children proceeds no temperature, it is necessary to figure out which stimulus could cause allergic reaction. The obstruction of the bronchi may be related:

• using household chemicals: washing powders, aerosols, air fresheners;
• with allergies on pet wool;
• with varnishes and paints during repairs. The new linoleum and vinyl wallpapers can also provoke an obstruction attack;
• with the purchase of upholstered furniture made of low-quality materials;
• with soft toys;
• with home dust accumulated in carpet or textiles (bedspreads, curtains).

The elimination of allergen and the reception of antihistamine drugs dramatically improves the patient's condition. Antibiotic therapy is usually not assigned.

How to treat bronchitis in children at home

1. Strictly follow the recommendations of the doctor. Do not attempt yourself to treat bronchitis in children at home. Until the five-year-old, the brunch lumen is narrow, and children cannot spoil the lump of the mucus. Therefore, without qualified medical care can not do.
2. Do not cancel drugs yourself. This is especially true of antibiotics. Often relief occurs on the 3rd day of treatment. But if you have appointed a 7-day course, then it must be fully. Otherwise, the risk of developing chronic bronchitis occurs when the bacteria weakened by the antibiotic are not destroyed, but continue to exist in bronchi. With a decrease in immunity and overcooling, they cause exacerbation of bronchitis.
3. Child. If the kid will consume a sufficient amount of fluid, then the mucus in his bronchi does not dry, and the clots are not formed that it is difficult to roll out. This is especially important if the child has elevated temperature. The indicator that the child drinks is enough - it is urinary every 2-3 hours. Watering a child is better compotes from fruits or dried fruits with a raisin. If the baby prefers juices, then be sure to dive them with water 1: 1, so as not to cause allergies. For the same reason, doctors are not recommended to zealous with herbs champs that additionally allergenize the body, which is especially dangerous with allergic bronchitis.
4. Moisturize air. This measure also prevents drying mucus in bronchi. You can use household humidifiers or at least hang on the battery wet terry towels during the heating season. The relative humidity in the nursery should be 50-70%.
5. Clean the air in the room. It is desirable that the fortage is constantly open, but avoid drafts. Cut wet cleaning 2 times a day. Do not add any detergents into water. Thus, you will eliminate dust and other allergens that may worsen the condition of the child.
6. Do not overdo it with self-medication. Inhalations in childhood do only on the recommendation of the doctor. The fact is that if with the help of a couple to twist the dried crust of the mucus, then it will dramatically increase in the volume and block the lumen of the bronchi, which will significantly worsen the condition of the child. Therefore, advise with your doctor, even if you are going to make inhalation by saline (sodium chloride) or mineral water with a nebulizer. To put banks, mustard pieces and wager legs can only after the temperature returned to normal. Otherwise, there are more harm from these procedures than good.
7. Walks in the open air. Clean air contributes to the speedy cleansing of bronchi from mucus. In addition, the lung ventilation is improved while walking, which is the prevention of the development of pneumonia. However, it is possible to walk if the child has a normal temperature, and on the street is not frosty.
8. Massage. Massage helps clean bronons from sputum. But you can start it after a sharp period of the disease remained behind, and the temperature has become normal.

How can I treat a disease

Is it always with bronchitis

Bronchitis is a fairly common cause of treatment for medical care, both among children and among adults. This disease can be complicated by some other illness (ORVI, cold) or to be an independent illness. Bronchitis is characterized by the involvement in the inflammatory process of bronchi. There are two forms of the disease, which are very different from each other, and, accordingly, require different approaches in the treatment.

What could be bronchitis?

Bronchitis is sharp and chronic.

Chronic bronchitis is characterized by preserving the symptom in the form of a wet cough for more than three months in a row within the course of the age of two years. This is accompanied by a gradual restructuring of the mucous apparatus, as a result of which progress the deterioration of the protective and cleansing functions of the bronchi.

The acute bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, which entails an increase in the number of secrecy and a strong cough with a mocroid. In turn, sharp bronchitis happens:

• simple;
• obstructive (accompanied by an edema mucous membrane, as a result of which bronchi is cleaned).

Causes of bronchitis

The reasons for the development of acute bronchitis and bronchitis chronic are somewhat different.

Thus, the main "culprits" of acute bronchitis recognized bacteria and viruses (less often they are mushrooms, toxic substances, allergens). Infection of this disease occurs with air droplets from the already suffering a poor patient (with sneezing, conversation, kiss, etc.).

Chronic bronchitis, as a rule, arises for the following reasons:

• unfavorable household conditions (increased pollution, dust, constant or frequent inhalation of chemicals);
• long-term effects of too cold or dry air;
• frequent recurrences of respiratory infections.

There are a number of factors that can significantly increase the risk of any kind of bronchitis:

• life in adverse climatic conditions;
• smoking (including and passive);
• ecology.

Symptoms of bronchitis

The very first and characteristic sign of bronchitis is a strong cough with an abundant wet wet. On average, the bronchi is normally produced daily about 30 grams. Secret. It has a barrier and protective function - protects bronons from damage, warms and cleans the inhaled air, provides local immunity. With bronchitis, the pathogens and provocateurs of the disease damage the cells constituting the mucous membrane of the bronchi, and inflammation begins. As a result, the number of secretions produced at times rises, it becomes more viscous. This mucus leads to a violation of the work of lungs and bronchi, and, moreover, it is a wonderful environment for the life of microorganisms.

The sputum highlighted during the cough in the event of the development of bronchitis, has a characteristic yellowish-gray or greenish color. Sometimes blood is noticeable in it. As a rule, a strong cough is observed in the morning, afterwards it begins to deliver a patient a lot of problems and night.

It also happens that the bronchitis is accompanied by a dry cough, which, unlike wet, is considered unproductive. At the same time, doctors listen to whistling wheezing at the reception.

Other specific symptoms of bronchitis are:

• labored breathing;
• whees, usually noticeable not only at the inspection of the doctor, but also to the patient himself;
• soreness and spasms in the throat;
• increased body temperature (as a rule, the temperature is still not too high);
• in some cases, the attacks of choking.

How is the diagnosis?

First of all, the doctor polls the patient, paying attention to his complaints. Then the specialist proceeds to the inspection - carefully listens to the lungs and bronchi of the patient. To eliminate more serious and heavy diagnosis - pneumonia - can need X-ray. Often the analysis of the discharge sputum is often required, based on the results of which the causative agent of the disease is detected for the appointment of the maximum address and, therefore, effective treatment.

Prognosis and course of the disease

Upon timely appeal to the doctor and appointing the appropriate treatment, the forecast for bronchitis is quite favorable. As a rule, sharp bronchitis is cured within 10 days.

Acute bronchitis can act as an autonomous disease and be a complication of cold or flu. It all starts, as a rule, from dry cough, which is more often worried about the patient at night, depriving him of a full sleep. Then a few days later, the cough becomes wet - during this period, it usually feels tired and broken, it may slightly increase the body temperature. Most of the symptoms with competently planned treatment and respect for appointments pass rather quickly, but the cough worries patients a few weeks, since the healing of the mucous membranes is a long-term process. If the cough does not pass longer than a month, it is advisable to turn to the pulmonologist.

Treatment of bronchitis

It is worth noting that self-examination with suspected bronchitis is very dangerous. Only a specialist can determine the shape of bronchitis, identify starting complications and assign appropriate therapy.

Today, antibiotics are rarely used in the treatment of bronchitis. The exceptions are cases when the pathogen of the disease is detected to the action of these drugs (which happens infrequently), as well as they resort to antibiotics if the bronchitis has already managed to give complications and cause concomitant diseases.

Medical therapy with bronchitis, includes, as a rule, appointing such drugs as:

And here antiviral drugwhich would effectively save patients from bronchitis, not yet invented (interferon is often appointed).

Along with medicines, a good effect in the treatment of bronchitis gives the following procedures:

• massage of the chest;
• physiotherapy;
• physiotherapy;
• inhalation.

• Abundant drinking for the purpose of wetting the sputum and improve its disheavage - it is best to use warm drinks without caffeine to do this: compotes, frost, teas of therapeutic herbs.
• Poch, full-fledged rest, long sleep - for the fight against a disease, additional forces are needed.
• An exception from the diet is too acute or spicy food - bronchitis is often accompanied by inflammation of the rotogling, and the corresponding products are capable of leading it even greater irritation.
• Rubbing with warm camphor oil - gives a noticeable warming and antitussive effect.
• Moderate physical activity - the movement contributes to the speedy discharge of sputum, which, in turn, brings the recovery.
• Air moisturizing in the room, in which most of the time is a patient - dry air is capable of significantly aggravating the patient's condition, so it is necessary to use the humidifier of the air, or, in the absence of such, hang wet sheets in the room or leave in it with water.
• The refusal of smoking (for an avid smoker it is almost impracticable, so such patients are recommended to at least reduce the number of cigarettes used and do not smoke indoors where they live or work).
• Bronchitis is often accompanied by some disturbances of thermoregulation, while even in case of insignificant efforts there may be increased sweating - therefore it is worth dressing the weather and timely take a shower.

And what does folk medicine offer?

There is a huge number of recipes of traditional medicine, allowing to cope with bronchitis. However, it is important to remember that such treatment is not always efficient, and sometimes even unsafe. In any case, the control and consultation of a qualified specialist is needed. Only then folk remedies can become excellent auxiliary therapy that contributes to a faster recovery.

So, what kind of recipes from bronchitis offers traditional medicine:

Complications

Bronchitis is a disease that every every time in his life was silent each. However, such a prevalence does not mean the possibility of self-treatment (namely, it often happens - people are trying to get rid of the disease on the basis of the experience of their acquaintances or applying the same treatment that once was appointed by the doctor themselves). After all, bronchitis is a very cunning disease that threatens in the absence of competent and timely treatment with such complications as:

• bronchopneumonia - arises due to the weakening of local immunity and is a fairly common consequence of acute bronchitis;
• chronic form of bronchitis - usually arises after the disease is sharp bronchitis three times a year or more;
• obstructive changes of the bronchial tree - doctors regard this condition as a death rate;
• bronchial asthma;
• lung emphysema;
• cardiovascular failure;
• pulmonary hypertension;
• bronchiectatic disease (expansion of bronchi).

If the cough with bronchitis is accompanied by the emission of sputum with an admixture of blood, it is advisable to check for such serious diseaseslike tuberculosis and lung cancer.

Bronchita prevention

The first measure of the prevention of bronchitis is to strengthen the protective forces of the body. These are such a friendly rules as:

Other approaches to bronchitis prevention:

• Reception during seasonal epidemics (autumn, the beginning of spring, winter) immuno-fixing drugs, schemes and dosage of the use of which the doctor will select; This can also include the reception of vitamin complexes.
• Vaccination - from the common pneumococcal infection, including, and frequent cause bronchitis, effectively protects the Vaccine Pnevo-23; Therefore, people from the risk group (people over 50 years old, people suffering chronic diseases Internal organs, genetically predisposed people, representatives of professions implying contact with people (doctors, teachers, sellers, etc.), planning pregnancy women) is strongly recommended by vaccination, the effect of which continues for 5 years.
• Influenza vaccination - t. To. Provoking bronchitis factor often are virus infections.
• Compliance with the rules of personal hygiene - in particular, frequent hand washing.
• Avoiding contacts with patients and visiting places of mass accumulation of people during epidemics.
• Timely elimination of foci of chronic infection in the body.
• Elimination of unfavorable household factors (dustiness, pollution, the presence of a large number of chemicals, smoking).

Can bronchitis be without temperature

Can be bronchitis without a temperature? To find out, first you need to know what kind of illness is and what kind of varieties are.

Bronchitis is inflammation of the pulmonary system, or rather the upper respiratory tract. It is usually accompanied by a cough, respiratory impairment, ailment and sputum separation. This disease can cause not only viruses and bacteria, but also allergens and toxic substances. The disease can develop in people suffering from congenital pathologies of the bronchology system.

We are all accustomed that any inflammatory disease must be accompanied by an increase in body temperature. But, nevertheless, does bronchitis happen without temperature? Yes, there are cases when the disease passes attemptable. Various factors can contribute to this, including the body's response to foreign microflora or alien substances. In order to recognize any kind on, it is necessary to know the basic symptoms of this disease, since currently bronchitis is still found more and more.

It is important to determine the first signs of this disease in a timely manner, especially in children, since the launched disease can give serious complications (pneumonia, pleurisy, and other inflammation of the pulmonary system). Then treatment can delay for a long time and will be held in the hospital under the supervision of doctors.

Symptoms and types of bronchitis

Symptoms include:

• dry or wet cough, perhaps even parulmonary;
• wheezing during breathing, more accurately can be determined when auscultation;
• general malaise, when the bronchitis started, the inxication of the body begins and because of this there will be poor well-being;
• in obstructive form, seizures are possible.

Distinguish the following types of disease:

1. Acute bronchitis is mainly developing against the background of viral and bacterial infections. This type of inflammation of the bronchi will always be accompanied by a high temperature and a cough with a wet yellow or green. The lack of temperature takes place if during a cold you started taking antibiotics for prevention, that is, to take timely treatment of bronchitis.
2. Obstructive bronchitis without temperature is quite frequent. Maybe sharply begin with attacks of choking, without signs of other symptoms. Only a few days later, shortness of breath and whistling wheezing are joined. There is always an attacking cough, it is possible even to vomiting. Temperature may be, and maybe not. It all depends on the cause that caused this type of disease (supercooling, viruses, inhalation of allergen or toxic substances).
3. Clearing bronchitis for a long time is accompanied by a high temperature, as the causative agent is adenovirus. It can reach 38 degrees and last more than 2 weeks. The course of the disease is quite severe with strong respiratory failure and defeat of the large portion of the bronchi.
4. Chronic bronchitis is often repeated inflammation of the bronchi (more than 3 times a year for several years), which tends to progress. Due to frequent recurrences of the disease, the organism gets used to it. The temperature may be absent, as the immunity ceases to fight bronchitis. In principle, avid smokers are susceptible to this species. Also rises the risk to get sick against the background of professional harm.
5. Bronchial cereals are a pretty peculiar and rare disease: there is a blockage of the lumen of the bronchi with the casts of the dense structure (consists of the cells of the bronchi, eosinophils and a blind mucus), followed by the coupling of their fragments. Temperature, as a rule, does not rise.
6. Allergic bronchitis passes without temperature. Basic symptoms: dry bakery cough, small shortness of breath and presence of nose. After taking the anti-allergic drug, the symptoms disappear.

The main role in the fight against any pathogenic microorganisms that were in the body, just playing our immunity. In many, even the usual ARS proceeds without increasing body temperature. The main symptom of the alend remains any cough, disruption of breathing, various wheezes. With any suspicions of bronchitis, it is necessary to seek help from a doctor who will send for additional research (radiography, blood test), will make an external inspection and put an accurate diagnosis.

Possible causes of the flow of bronchitis without temperature can be timely detection of inflammation and its proper treatment or weakened organism, a certain type of bronchitis.

Treatment of unprofitable bronchitis

First provide the desired level of moisture in the room. It should be at least 60%. Periodically ventilate the room. All this will help improve the breath and the extinguishing of the mucus accumulated in bronchi.

Use an increased amount of fluid. It can be hurried grasses, compotes or green tea. Abundant drink helps rapid wet wet and bronchial cleansing.

With relatively well-being, you can go ride into the street. Walking in the fresh and cool air will restore air flow into the airways. Cough should increase - this is a great way to get rid of moistwined sputum.

With bacterial bronchitis will have to take antibiotics wide spectrum actions. These include macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin and others). They are produced in various forms (for small and adults), have long action and treat the disease in a short time.

Mandatory use of drugs that strengthen the immune system. These are any immunomodulators - bronchomunal, IRS-19, lycopid, cycloferon. For young children, drugs are released in the form rectal candlesAdults can take in tablet form.

For better removal of sputum, it is necessary to take preparations with expectorant properties (Lazolvan, Ambroben, Dr. Mom, Gedelix and others). Can be replaced herbal fees Either plant-based syrup (plantain syrup, altake, mucaltine). With a mucus having a viscous structure, it is necessary to use diluent syrups (flooding, ATSC, Fluimucil). They will help soften and faster get rid of difficulty sputum.

An excellent means for softening sputum are inhalation. The nebulizer received widespread use: healing couples are inflamed through it medicines. You can simply breathe over warm boomes of healthy herbs (chamomile, sage, calendula).

Thermal procedures are allowed (when normal temperature Body): Shake legs in mustard powder, put mustard pieces and cans, use warming ointments. Such manipulations are considered distracting. They reduce the painful sensation and speed up recovery.

Treatment of obstructive and allergic bronchitis

The treatment of obstructive bronchitis is slightly different from the treatment of ordinary inflammation. In addition to the standard set of drugs, anti-inflammatory agents (Erispal, Synecode) will be added, with frequent attacks of choking. hormonal drugs (in the form of aerosols). Especially seriously, the disease is transferred to small children due to insufficiently formed respiratory tract: obstruction attacks may occur much more often than in adults.

This disease always begins with an approached dry cough, which in a few days will become wet and productive. Also may be accompanied by poor well-being, pain in muscles and headache. With allergic bronchitis, a nose with transparent separated from it will be also parallel. How to determine the color of the wet pathogen? The causative agent of viral etiology will give light and transparent sputum, and bacteria is yellow-green in the mucus.

Prevention

Any disease is easier to warn than to treat. In the seasons of increased incidence of colds, immunity must be strengthened. In the spring and autumn you need to drink multivitamins. All year round is more in the fresh air, dress up the weather.

Do not neglect regular wet cleaning, because home dust contains strong allergens and even streptococci. Regularly ventilate the room, avoid drafts. Make respiratory gymnastics (balls of balls improve the blood flow in the bronchopulmonary system). If you smoke and constantly sick bronchitis, you will have to throw this bad habit.

If a supercooling suddenly happened, then you need to take a hot bath and drink hot tea with lemon and honey. Vedi healthy image LIFE, correctly fidge. Exclude from their diet, harmful products (fried, salty, smoked). Eat more vegetables, fruits, dairy products.

If you work in harmful production, use the means of protection. After all, toxic substances and allergens penetrate even through the skin, and can also cause allergic and obstructive bronchitis.

If you often sick bronchitis without temperature, it is better to go through a full survey in the hospital to eliminate congenital pathologies of the bronchology system. Specialists will appoint strengthening physiotics, make additional analyzes that cannot be passed in the usual clinic. It is better to depart in the hospital for 10 days and then not to hurt for several years than to be treated several times a year. Take care of yourself and your children!

Could there be bronchitis without cough and temperature?

Inflammatory processes in respiratory organs deliver a lot of unpleasant sensations and are mainly accompanied by characteristic symptoms: Increased temperature, strong cough. If there are no such signs, you should not hope for a slight course of illness. Most often, bronchitis without cough is observed in chronic form. Without the help of a specialist, it will be difficult to cope with such a disease. In addition, self-treatment almost always leads to a deterioration of the state. Consider in more detail if there can be bronchitis without coughing, what are the methods of treating this ailment.

Bronchitis - What is the disease?

The pathologies of the upper respiratory tract are very common among the population of various age categories. One of the frequently found diseases is bronchitis. This ailment is associated with inflammation of bronchi - tubes connecting the respiratory parenchyma of the lungs and tracheas. They serve as part of airway paths.

Bronchitis is manifested in acute and chronic form. The second type often arises against the background of improper treatment or the complete absence of therapeutic manipulations. Depending on the form of illness, the symptoms and the method of treatment differ. Recently, doctors face the lack of characteristic features. Can be bronchitis without cough and other signs of pathology? Specialists respond to such a question affirmatively and recommend as soon as possible to seek medical attention.

Causes of the development of pathology

Viral and bacterial agents are the main perpetrators of this disease. Bronchitis is often developing on a cold background, with constant contact with allergens or toxic substances. Dust is another factor that can provoke the development of the inflammatory process in the upper respiratory tract. For reasons that increase the risk of any form of bronchitis, belongs:

• genetic predisposition;
• decrease in immunity;
• smoking;
• adverse climatic conditions;
• bad ecological situation.

How does bronchitis manifest?

The main feature, which makes it possible to distinguish the inflammation of the bronchi from other ailments - cough and the release of thick sputum. The mucous secret performs a protective function - is responsible for local immunity and cleans the air that enters bronchi when inhaling. The increased amount of sputum begins to be produced under the inflammatory process, due to which the lumen is narrowed in bronchi. Patient's reinforced breathing provokes cough.

What types of bronchitis can leak at no temperature, and which no

There is an opinion that an increase in temperature for any walled diseases - Good sign. During sharp respiratory diseases, the immune system is triggered, and in the fight against foreign microorganisms, toxins are produced, which increase the temperature. With bronchitis, the situation is slightly different. Much depends directly from what type of disease is observed in the patient.

1. Bronchitis obstructive type. It is characterized by an increased shortness of breath, as well as a characteristic feature is the edema of lungs. In this case, it all depends on how strong the human body and, in particular, the immune system. It is possible that bronchitis proceeds without temperature.

3. Current bronchitis. It is the direct consequence of the unrealized acute bronchitis. The nature of the disease is distinguished by a strong cough, which is tormented even at night, shortness of breath, as well as increased fatigue. Is the temperature of the disease?

To which doctor to turn

When developing acute bronchitis, it is necessary to refer to the therapist / pediatrician. In the event that the disease has acquired a protracted flow, it is necessary to consult a pulmonologist. It is additionally useful to undergo an infectious examination for more accurate detection of the pathogen and in an immunologist to determine the state of immunity and the need to use immunomodulatory therapy. Physiotherapist is also involved in the treatment of bronchitis.

Dr. Komarovsky on the treatment of bronchitis and acute bronchitis in children:

Inadequate or inadequate treatment of acute bronchitis often translates it into a chronic form.

And from chronic bronchitis to Asthma hand to file. Therefore, it is important to stop the inflammatory process in bronchi for the root!

Our expert - therapist Irina Moiseeva.

Antibiotics will wait

Alas, there is no magic pill, accepting which you could instantly forget about bronchitis. The whole complexity of his treatment is that the causes of this disease are the most diverse. Among the "provocateurs" of bronchitis - viruses, bacterial infections, chemical, physical and allergic factors.

Recently, among the pathogens of the disease, chlamydia and mycoplasma are increasingly found. Infections of this type require special diagnosis and treatment. And although in 80% of cases in the emergence of the aless "Munning" viruses, other reasons should be thrown off.

Therefore, to engage in the self-treatment of bronchitis is dangerous. It is better to resort to the help of an experienced doctor. Especially when it comes to antibacterial therapy. The decision on whether antibiotics are needed in the treatment of acute bronchitis, only a specialist can take. After all, in viral or allergic nature, these medicines are not only useless, but also harmful. They are prescribed only in a bacterial infection. The type of antibiotic, dose and method of use are also determined by the attending physician.

Damned mines!

Of course, cough, impellent breathing, awakening among the night and not giving calmly to sleep, is not the most pleasant symptom. However, the prince of our task is not to deal with this phenomenon, but to make it more productive. After all, with the help of cough, which is a peculiar protective mechanism, our body is cleaned of the sputum and microbes contained in it.

However, with a very strong cough, it is advisable to make it "hiding". Anti-tools should appoint only the attending physician. Take them only with a strong dry cough. Usually on the 2-3rd day of the disease, their reception is stopped.

From a wet cough, it is necessary to take expectorant means to help free bronchi from sputum. At the same time, in no case cannot be combined by both types of drugs - this can lead to the blockage of bronchi with a mocroid.

The lollipops are sold in every kiosk, however, most of them only soften pain, they are powerless against pathogenic bacteria. Therapeutic effect Possess "Pills for resorption" that are sold exclusively in pharmacies. The severity of the drug is usually an inscriptions on packaging, such as "contains an antiseptic" or "double antibacterial action".

To relieve breathing at bronchitis will help inhalations (several times a day). For their preparation take 1 tbsp. spoon medicinal herbal: leisure coltsfoot, chamomile, sage, chaybres. Raw materials are poured boiling water, covered with a lid. In the infusion add 1 t. A spoonful of food soda and several drops of menthol or eucalyptus oil. However, it should be borne in mind that inhalations with extracts medicinal plants Can be dangerous for allergies.

Wash or wash?

From early childhood, we heard from our moms that the sick person is harmful to wash, otherwise you can still catch a cold. This is a very common myth, apparently, who remained inherited from those dense times, when the process of washing was associated with considerable difficulties and dangers.

In fact, if there is a private bath in every home, ignore the washing procedure during the disease. Firstly, it is simply unhygienically, and secondly, the skin is just as the kidneys and the liver, helps the body to remove toxins that prevent it from working normally. During the disease, their number increases sharply - it makes itself felt the active life of viruses, so all allocation bodies work with maximum load. And if it is not possible to dismiss the skin from pollution in a timely manner, then the cleansing of the body will pass heavier and the disease will reach longer than the usual one.

Of course, you need to make sure that the patient does not catch up, leaving the bathroom. But in all other restrictions on washing there. True, all this does not apply to the bath: subjected to excessive heat loads, if you get sick, just harmful. Moreover, at elevated temperatures, any warming up is contraindicated at all. Moreover, the prohibition is saved for another 10 days after the thermometer returned to normal indicators.

Be healthy, do not cough!

To combat coughing, it is important to use as much liquid as possible - abundant drink will prevent dehydration on the background increased temperature, restore the water balance, and will also help the discharge and more rapid and efficient impact of sputum. But too hot fluid is annoying and so inflamed throat, which prevents recovery. Especially useful alkaline mineral waters.

Food should be easy, but the calorie - the body requires a lot of strength to combat the disease. Lean chicken, omelet, vegetable soups, porridge, and from oily, fried and smoked food, it is better to abandon - it is annoying both the stomach and inflamed mucous membrane. Benefit will go fresh fruitsVitamins. Just do not abuse citrus: they contain a lot of vitamin C for the patient's patient, but their excessive acid is still annoying the throat. It is better to pay attention to berries and apples (they perfectly remove toxins). The main dietary commandment of the patient: there is often, little by little and ensure that food is not too acute or hot.
