By Richard H. Ealom

INTRODUCTION: Bronchitis is a respiratory illness in which the mucous membrane in the lungs bronchial passages becomes inflamed and normally occurs in the setting of an upper respiratory problem and is observed more often in the winter months. It can be short-lived (acute) or chronic, meaning that it continues for a long time and often recurs and may have causes other than an infection. Bronchitis can also occur when acids from your stomach consistently back up into your food pipe, a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease. Both adults and children can develop it.
