Abstract
Millions of patients visit their physicians each year complaining of a cough. In many cases, the cause is either acute or chronic bronchitis. How can acute bronchitis be differentiated from the chronic condition? How does treatment differ? What are the causes and implications of these conditions? Does prophylactic treatment work? Dr Brown discusses these questions while exploring useful clinical approaches to bronchitis.Keywords
