What Is Acute Bronchitis?
5. Symptoms
The symptoms of acute bronchitis will typically be similar to those you’d expect to have with a cold. This can mean aches and pains, a headache, and a slight fever and chills. The condition will also cause a cough, and the patient can cough up mucus. Blood may be present in the mucus in some cases.
The patient will also likely feel discomfort in the chest and they can also find themselves short of breath. Acute bronchitis will also cause the patient to feel fatigued in some cases. The symptoms will usually clear up in 10 days, but the cough can remain for several weeks.
