Bronchitis Destructive

Bronchitis is one of the most common respiratory diseases. It can occur as an independent disease or as a complication of other diseases. Destructive bronchitis is one of the types of bronchitis in which the destruction of lung tissue occurs. The article will discuss what bronchitis is, its symptoms and causes.

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, which can spread to the bronchi. The respiratory tract contains many lymphoid cells that protect the body from infections and allergic influences. With bronchitis, there is an increase in the number of these cells and the release of specific proteins, which are the basis for protection against allergies and infections.

Symptoms The main symptoms of bronchitis are cough, sputum production, shortness of breath and fever. The cough can be dry and frequent at the beginning of the disease, and wet and productive when sputum begins to be released. Sputum production is a defense mechanism that allows the body to get rid of bacteria and viruses that cause infection.

The causes of bronchitis can be hypothermia, smoking, an allergic reaction, viral infections, chronic lung diseases and other factors. Due to disruption of the immune system, recurrent bronchitis may occur.

Bronchitis is treated by a general practitioner. In the initial stages of the disease, treatment can be carried out on an outpatient basis, but if there are complications or worsening of the patient’s condition, hospitalization is required. The main treatment for bronchitis is drug therapy, including antibiotics, immunostimulants and anti-inflammatory drugs. Also an important part of treatment is clearing the airways.

Destructive bronchitis is a disease that is characterized by an inflammatory process in the bronchial mucosa. Signs of the disease include a dry cough, fever, weakness, chest pain and general malaise.

Among the causes of the disease are: - infections - cold air - hypothermia - disruption of the immune system - exposure to toxins - passive smoking - chemical poisoning

**Symptoms of destructive bronchitis:** - dryness and burning sensation in the throat. - lacrimation, possible discharge of clear fluid from the nose. - muscle pain, headache.

Bronchitis can be very severe. With improper or delayed treatment, the disease can lead to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary failure and even heart damage.
