Bronchitis is an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the bronchi (the larger and medium-sized airways that carry airflow from the trachea into the more distal parts of the lung parenchyma). Bronchitis can be divided into two categories: acute and chronic.Acute bronchitis is characterized by the development of a cough or small sensation in the back of the throat with or without the production of sputum (mucus that is expectorated or coughed up from the respiratory tract).
