Bronchitis Bronchitis is swelling of the lining of the large airways called bronchi in the lungs. The swelling causes more mucus than normal to be made. This can block the airflow through the lungs and may damage the lungs.

Acute bronchitis lasts 2 to 4 weeks and can be treated. Chronic bronchitis is a long-term disease of the lungs. It is one disease in a group of lung diseases called COPD or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The damage often gets worse over time and cannot be cured.

Bronquitis La bronquitis es la hinchazón de las paredes de las vías respiratorias grandes llamadas bronquios en los pulmones. La hinchazón hace que se produzcan más mucosidades que lo normal. Esto puede bloquear el flujo de aire a través de los pulmones y puede dañarlos.

To Breathe Easier •

Quit smoking. The only way to slow the damage of chronic bronchitis is to quit smoking. It is never too late to quit.



Do not drink alcohol. It dulls the urge to cough and sneeze to clear your air passages. It also causes your body to lose fluid, making the mucus in your lungs thicker and harder to cough up.



Avoid things that irritate your lungs such as air pollution, dusts and gases.



Sleep with your upper body raised. Use foam wedges or raise the head of your bed.

Call your doctor right away if you: •

Have chills or a fever over 101 degrees F or 38 degrees C



Need to use your inhalers or breathing treatments more often



Have more mucus, the color changes, or it becomes too hard to cough up



Have a new or worsening gray or blue tint of your nails or the skin of your fingers or mouth



Have trouble talking or doing your normal activities



Have to use more pillows when sleeping or start having to sleep in a chair to breathe at night

Para respirar con mayor facilidad •

Deje de fumar. La única manera de demorar el daño provocado por la bronquitis crónica es dejando de fumar. Nunca es tarde para dejarlo.



No beba alcohol. Disminuye el impulso de toser y estornudar para limpiar las vías respiratorias. También causa que su cuerpo pierda líquido, lo que espesa las mucosidades en los pulmones y dificulta toser



Evite las cosas que irriten los pulmones tales como la contaminación del aire, los polvos y los gases.



Duerma con la parte superior del cuerpo levantada. Use cuñas de espuma o levante la cabecera de la cama.

Llame a su médico de inmediato si: •

tiene escalofríos o fiebre sobre 101° F o 38° C;



necesita usar sus inhaladores o tratamientos respiratorios con mayor frecuencia;



tiene más mucosidades, éstas cambian su color o se hace demasiado difícil expulsarlas al toser;



las uñas, o la piel de los dedos o la boca comienzan a tener un color gris o azul o el color empeora;



tiene problemas para conversar o hacer sus actividades normales;



tiene que usar más almohadas al dormir o comenzar a dormir en una silla para respirar en la noche.
