It happens that the common cold is complicated by acute bronchitis. A dry and severe cough may occur. It turns wet after a few days, which can be purulent. Nausea and fever may also occur. People get sick more easily from infectious bronchitis in winter, due to increased humidity and temperatures around 0 ° C. Susceptibility to infection is also increased by smoking cigarettes or passive smoking. Bronchitis is diagnosed by a doctor by a traditional physical examination, which he performs during a visit to the patient: by identifying auditory changes in the bronchi and a history of other symptoms, e.g. cough and fever. Moist cough can be relieved with mucus diluents. It is also recommended to stay in bed, but if symptoms reappear and the temperature rises while breathing is accompanied by respiration, it is necessary to see a doctor who may prescribe antibiotic treatment, as a bacterial infection may have occurred.
