My sister has been coughing a whole lot. She went to the doctor today and they said it is bronchitis. Her coughing seems to be very deep. She did say that her chest hurts when she coughs. She doesn't have asthma and she doesn't smoke. Are the doctors right telling her she has bronchitis?

Hi

The most common way to get bronchitis is by contacting a virus.?This travels into your bronchi, causing infection. Your body will then start to fight the virus that caused bronchitis. As a result, there will be more swelling and the quantity produced will be larger.

The most known virus that causes bronchitis is the sams one that causes the cold. There are also cases when a bacteria is responsible for bronchitis, most likely after viral infections, such as a cold.

Yeah I got it before recently (don't have it anymore) because I had caught a cold.

I don't smoke or have asthma.
