Chronic bronchitis symptoms?

Expectoration expectoration is more frequent in the morning. Sputum is usually white mucinous or serous foam. This is mainly due to the slow cough reflex during sleep at night, accumulation of sputum in the airway cavity, and stimulation of expectoration after getting up in the morning due to postural changes. When the acute attack is accompanied by bacterial infection, the amount of sputum increases, and the sputum becomes viscous or purulent.

In the early stage of cough, the cough is more severe in the morning, lighter in the daytime, and more obvious in the late stage at night. Before going to bed, there is often a cough attack accompanied by expectoration. This is due to bronchial mucosa congestion, edema, secretion accumulation in the bronchial lumen. With the development of the disease, cough does not heal all year round.

Shortness of breath and wheezing are not obvious at the beginning of the course of disease. When the course of disease progresses with obstructive emphysema, shortness of breath gradually appears in different degrees, especially after activity. Patients with chronic bronchitis complicated with asthma or so-called asthmatic chronic bronchitis, especially in acute attack, often have symptoms of wheezing and wheezing.
