With the arrival of the cold season, the risk of respiratory illnesses, including bronchitis, rises. Doctors emphasize the importance of timely treatment, as autumn flare-ups of this disease occur most often due to sharp temperature fluctuations and a weakened immune system. The illness can affect both adults and children, especially those who have chronic forms of bronchitis or a weak respiratory system. Early diagnosis and a proper approach to treatment will help prevent complications and speed up recovery.
Symptoms and causes of flare-ups
Autumn is a period of high humidity and cool weather, which creates favorable conditions for the spread of viruses and bacteria. At this time the body is particularly vulnerable to infections. A flare-up of bronchitis can occur as a result of a cold, flu, or exposure to allergens.
The most common symptoms of a flare-up:
- increased coughing, often with mucus;
- shortness of breath and a feeling of not getting enough air;
- pain or burning in the chest;
- fever;
- general weakness and rapid fatigue.
