FAQ About Online Treatment for Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways (bronchi) in your lungs, leading to a persistent cough, mucus production, chest discomfort, and difficulty breathing. It can be acute (short-term, usually caused by a virus) or chronic (long-term, often due to smoking or environmental factors).
Not always. Most cases of bronchitis are viral, meaning antibiotics won’t help. However, if a bacterial infection is suspected, your provider may prescribe antibiotics. Our providers ensure you get the right treatment based on your symptoms.
In addition to your provider’s treatment plan, you can ease symptoms with:
- Drinking plenty of fluids to loosen mucus
- Using a humidifier or steam inhalation to soothe airways
- Getting plenty of rest to support recovery
- Taking over-the-counter pain relievers for fever or discomfort
While most cases of bronchitis can be treated online, you should seek in-person care if:
- You have severe difficulty breathing
- Your symptoms worsen instead of improving
- You have a high fever that doesn’t go away
- You have a history of lung disease, heart disease, or a weakened immune system
You can lower your risk by:
- Washing your hands regularly to prevent infections
- Getting the flu vaccine to reduce viral infections
- Avoiding cigarette smoke and air pollutants
- Wearing a mask in dusty or polluted environments
