Shocked 
[size=4][b]Bronchial Asthma in Acute Exacerbation - Causes of Bronchitis and Symptoms of Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]
Quote:Bronchitis is an inflammation of the main air passages (bronchi) to your lungs. It causes a cough, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Coughing often brings up yellow or greenish mucus. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic.

[size=large][b]What Causes Bronchitis?[/b][/size][hr]Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses, and it may occur together with or following a cold or other respiratory infection. Germs such as viruses can be spread from person to person by coughing. They can also be spread if you touch your mouth, nose, or eyes after coming into contact with respiratory fluids from an infected person. Don't be surprised if you find anything unusual here about Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis. There has been some interesting and unusual things here worth reading.

[list][*]Some cases, the doctor will recommend using a medicine called a bronchodilator that makes breathing easier.[*]People with chronic bronchitis should stop smoking and avoid second-hand smoke.[*]Having a penchant for Bronchitis Mucus led us to write all that there has been written on Bronchitis Mucus here.[*]Hope you too develop a penchant for Bronchitis Mucus![/list]

[size=large][b]Shortness of Breath[/b][/size][hr]Aggravated by exertion or mild activity Frequent respiratory infections that worsen symptoms Wheezing, shortness of breath, recurrent infections and cough all appear as symptoms of this problem. While these also occur in those with simple asthma, those with chronic antibiotics for bronchitis patients to have increased severity and frequency of these complaints. There has been an uncalculatable amount of information added in this composition on Causes Bronchitis. Don't try counting it!

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis is Usually Caused by a Virus[/b][/size][hr]It is more common during the winter months and often develops after an upper respiratory illness such as influenza (flu) or a cold caused by a virus such as coronavirus, adenovirus, or a rhinovirus. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) may be a cause, especially in adults older than About 10% of the time, acute bronchitis is caused by bacteria. We have included the history of Bronchitis Cough here so that you will learn more about its history. It is only through it's history can you learn more about Bronchitis Cough.

[size=large][b]Bronchitis Symptoms[/b][/size][hr]Cough is a common symptom of bronchitis. The cough may be dry or may produce phlegm. Significant phlegm production suggests that the lower respiratory tract and the lung itself may be infected, and you may have pneumonia. We would like you to leisurely go through this article on Causes Bronchitis to get the real impact of the article. Causes Bronchitis is a topic that has to be read clearly to be understood.

[size=large][b]Treatment for Acute Bronchitis:[/b][/size][hr]Your child's age, overall health, and medical history Extent of the condition Your child's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies There is a lot of jargon connected with Chronic Bronchitis. However, we have eliminated the difficult ones, and only used the ones understood by everyone.

Avoid things that could make symptoms worse, such as air pollution and allergens. Getting enough rest so your body has the energy needed to fight the infection. Generally, you feel better sooner if you rest more than usual while you have acute bronchitis. Sometimes, what we hear about Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis can prove to be rather hilarious and illogical. This is why we have introduced this side of Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis to you.

When the main air passageways in your lungs (bronchial tubes) are inflamed, they often produce large amounts of discolored mucus that comes up when you cough. If this persists for more than three months, it is referred to as chronic bronchitis. Mucus that isn't white or clear usually means there's a secondary infection. The first impression is the best impression. We have written this article on Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis in such a way that the first impression you get will definitely make you want to read more about it!

[size=large][b]Industrial Pollution is Another Culprit[/b][/size][hr]Chronic bronchitis is found in higher-than-normal rates among coal miners, grain handlers, metal molders, and other people who are continually exposed to dust. But the chief cause is heavy, long-term cigarette smoking, which irritates the bronchial tubes and causes them to produce excess mucus. It was at the spur of the moment that we ventured to write something about Bronchitis Caused. Such is the amount of matter that is available on Bronchitis Caused.

Bronchial tubes, which are the air passages that extend from the windpipe and up to the lungs can become inflamed. That is when bronchitis appears. Bronchitis can be also the inflammation of the bronchi which are located in the chest of human body. There were made some studies, and the result was that millions of persons develop respiratory conditions such as broncitus every year, especially between November to January.

Bronchitis is contagious, because the micro organisms that cause it are found in the fluid from the mouth or nose of an infected individual, and it can easily be spread. There are some signs and symptoms of bronchitis. We can mention yellow, green, or gray phlegm, headaches, runny nose, wheezing, muscle and back pain, and also chills, reddish face, palms, or mucous membranes, vision abnormalities, ankle, feet, and leg swelling. The most important purpose of the treatment is to reduce irritation in the bronchial tubes, and in order to treat bacterial infections such as chronic broncitus antibiotics are very effective. In chronic bronchitis it is not required to have antibiotics on a continual basis. Useful to ease discomfort caused by coughing and also to eliminate infection are the homeopathic remedies. Studies revealed that there are cases when the cough due to acute bronchitis lasts for several weeks to months. This happens because the bronchial system is taking up longer to heal, and an important thing is that cough that does not go away could be symptoms of other diseases like asthma or pneumonia.

[size=large][b]Bronchitis is Part of the[/b][/size][hr]Category of most common chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and a study showed that in the US there are about 14 to 15 million persons having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and out of those, 12 million have chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis can appear when someone has repeated periods of illness, and is not taking care to cure the illness, but there are other factors too, as allergens, dust and chemical fumes, prolonged exposure to polluted air, cigarettes. It is known that when the mucous membranes that line up the upper breathing tubes become inflamed, bronchitis appears.

Unless someone is diabetic, or very close to someone who is, they do not realize how life changing this disease can be. I believe one of the reasons this is, is because so many people are diagnosed with diabetes; that somewhere down the line, the seriousness of the disease, in people's minds, have diminished.

The emotional stress one goes through seems to get ignored and lost in the endless information and directions of how to now live your life. This is not just merely staying alive ' it's trying to stay alive without ending up blind, on kidney dialysis, with severe nerve damage, or amputation, just to name a few. Using great confidence in ourselves, we endeavored to write such a long article on Bronchitis. Such is the amount of matter found on Bronchitis.

All these changes he was going through, made him feel like he was different than the other children. He was afraid to spend a night for quite some time after being diagnosed; because if his sugar went up too high at night, it could cause him to wet the bed. Something that an eleven-year-old would be horrified to do in front of his friends. We also had to make sure if he did go spend the night with a friend, that they had plenty of food. (Though, his back pack would be packed with extra food for snacks, it couldn't contain the main meals.) We also had to let the parents know he was diabetic, where they could keep an extra eye out. This would sometimes turn into a nightmare, as Eddie did not want to go around announcing he was diabetic. He also didn't like being treated differently if a mother was handing out sugared drinks or sugared snacks to the other kids. The sources used for the information for this article on Bronchitis are all dependable ones. This is so that there be no confusion in the authenticity of the article.

[size=large][b]Was Over-Whelming[/b][/size][hr]Three main meals a day and three snacks a day; mandatory, with a minimum of two shots daily for the rest of his life. To say we were under stress, would be putting it mildly. My son put on a brave face, but about the fourth day after he was diagnosed, I had a heart to heart with him. The poor baby thought he had brought the diabetes on himself and was being punished for something he said. Meanwhile, my nine-year-old at home was going through her own personal hell. After speaking to her, I found out she was scared to death that he was going to die, and that she was next. This came from two children whose parents did talk to them and tried to explain everything to the best of their ability. It was with great relief we ended writing on Bronchitis. There was just too much information to write, that we were starting to lose hopes on it's completion!

[size=large][b]Diabetes is a Very Serious and Scary Chronic Illness[/b][/size][hr]It is totally life changing for those diagnosed. Eating becomes literally a matter of life and death. And the way a person is use to eating is usually changed drastically. We have also translated parts of this composition into French and Spanish to facilitate easier understanding of Bronchitis. In this way, more people will get to understand the composition.

When we arrived at the emergency room, my son had a hard time keeping his eyes opened. We were finally called to the back, where they started running several tests. Sure enough he was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. His blood sugar was well over 600. Normal blood sugar levels range from 90-110. The reason he was sleeping so much was because he was trying to slip into a diabetic coma. The doctor said that if I didn't bring him in when I did, he would have went into a coma that night. They admitted him to ICU and kept a vigil on him for three days as insulin was delivered through IV. That was the day our lives changed forever; especially my eleven-year-old son's.

[size=large][b]Diabetes Causes Such a Wide Array of Secondary Illnesses[/b][/size][hr]Including stunting growth in a growing child. Eddie lost a whole year of growing. When he was 13, he had the bones of an 11 1/2 yr. old. He was put on intra-muscular testoterone shots at home. Which he took a lot better than most adults would, every night for six months. Dwelving into the interiors of Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Bronchitis. Bronchitis do indeed have a lot to tell!Dwelving into the interiors of Bronchitis has led us to all this information here on Bronchitis. Bronchitis do indeed have a lot to tell!

Our lives became rigid, at first -- as we tried to cope with the changes. My son, Eddie, could not just run off and play at his friend's house whenever he wanted, or was allowed. He had to make sure he was home to take his shots on time, to eat the regular meals and the snacks in-between. He was a hard player, he had to learn that if he didn't eat like he was supposed to, wheather he was hungry or not, he would end up getting shaky. If he did not get something in him quickly to raise his blood sugar, he may slip so low that an ambulance would have to be called to save his life, if I wasn't there with an emergency glucagon (intra-muscular sugar water) shot -- as he would get extremely lethargic and not be able to communicate, or to understand what was going on around him. It was with keen interest that we got about to writing on Bronchitis. Hope you read and appreciate it with equal interest.

My life was drastically affected by diabetes twelve years ago when my son, who is now 23, was just eleven years old, and diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Aiming high is our motto when writing about any topic. In this way, we tend to add whatever matter there is about Bronchitis, rather than drop any topic. Smile

As a mother, seeing him go through all of this, tore my heart out. When I did let him leave, I had to worry not only what every mother worries about when her children go off by themselves, but I had to worry if his sugar dropped too low, would he be able to make it home {b}in time{/b} to get something to eat? Even though he carried emergency glucose pills for low sugar, it does not work all the time. (Depending on how low his sugar is and if he is able to chew, and has enough sense to take them.) When your sugar drops extremely low, you are not aware of what you're doing. Many people have been suspected of being high on drugs, when it is their sugar causing the strange behaviour. It's a very scary thing to see, even more so do go through. I also had to worry if he would go off and drink sugar drinks and go to the store and get candy. This was not a simple concern, this could actually kill or disable him. When your sugar gets too high, you are damaging your organs -- and if you start spilling ketones, it becomes a very dangerous situation. It causes ketoacidosis which causes nausea, sometimes severe with projectile vomiting, stomach pains, confusion and drowsiness; because their body is over-worked and worn out. It's literally starving to death. They are also in danger of slipping into a diabetic coma. High sugar often does develop into Diabetic ketoacidosis -- (DKA) which is a life-threatening blood chemical (electrolyte) imbalance that develops in a person with diabetes when the cells do not get the sugar (glucose) they need for energy. As a result, the body breaks down fat instead of glucose and produces and releases substances called ketones into the bloodstream. Severe diabetic ketoacidosis can cause difficulty breathing, brain swelling (cerebral edema), coma, or death. This is also the time when diabetes is doing the most harm to all the organs -- which can lead to heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, neuropathy -- and the list goes on. This can be considered to be a valuable article on Bronchitis. It is because there is so much to learn about Bronchitis here.

Then there are the emotional changes diabetes puts them through. The anger, restlessness, nervousness, inpatience -- imagine it, and it is effected. It plays roulette with their hormones, causing their emotions and temperment to go into extreme modes. Sadly, this seems to be most of the time. All this happens in all diabetics, but I am concentrating on Type 1, Juvenile Diabetes. Type 1, Juvenile on-set, varies from Type 2, adult on-set, because with type 1, your pancreas does not produce any insulin at all. With Type 2, it produces insulin, but not sufficient enough, or at a normal rate. We are satisfied with this end product on Bronchitis. It was really worth the hard work and effort in writing so much on Bronchitis.

Hurts me now, as it has since the day he was diagnosed, to know that he may soon be experiencing some very bad health problems because of the diabetes. Problems start to arise mostly after being diabetic for five years. We are living on borrowed time with decent health -- as he now has had diabetes for twelve years. When he says his chest hurts him, I don't think, "Oh no, he may be getting bronchitis." I think, "Oh Lord, please let it be something as simple as bronchitis." When he tells me his feet hurt and his whole body aches -- I know it may be a sign of neuropathy. At 23 he experiences pains and aches no young adult should have to face. But I praise God for each day that goes by where he is still able to work and live life as close to a young adult as he possibly can. God has spared us from him having any serious conditions. I know that may change any day, but I can relish in each day it does not.

He has always been hyperactive, so even when he was sick, he was active. I started to notice he was looking a little pale and losing weight, even though he ate constantly. I made him a doctor appointment for the next opening, which wasn't until a month away. All of a sudden he started wetting the bed. The urine had a very strong odor. He also started complaining of headaches. At first I thought the complaints, was just an excuse for the eleven-year-old to stay out of school. But when they became so severe, I knew they were real. The second day his headaches were so severe, he stayed home from school. He presented no other symptoms, but he slept all day long. This was enough to definitely make me realize something was extremely wrong. I got out my diagnosis health encyclopedia books and after a few hours, I came down to two diagnosis, kidney trouble or diabetes, (this was before I became a nurse, so I was going only by his symptoms and the words on the page). It was about 6:30 at night, when I told my husband something was terribly wrong and I was taking our son to the emergency room.
