Step-by-Step: How We Care for Bronchitis
Bronchitis can leave you feeling exhausted and struggling to catch your breath. A proper evaluation ensures that symptoms don’t escalate and gives you clear direction on how to recover safely. Here’s how Erlanger Express Care can help you:
Step 1: Identify the Type
Our providers begin by determining whether you’re experiencing acute bronchitis, usually triggered by a virus, or if you need ongoing support for chronic bronchitis treatment related to conditions like COPD or long-term irritation of the lungs.
Step 2: Evaluate Symptoms
We look at your cough pattern, presence of mucus, fever, fatigue, and any breathing difficulty. Listening to your lungs helps us assess airway inflammation and rule out pneumonia or other respiratory concerns.
Step 3: Provide Relief
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Medications to ease coughing
- Inhalers to open airways
- Antibiotics if a bacterial infection is suspected
For chronic cases, we create a plan that supports lung health over the long term.
Step 4: Prevent Future Flare-Ups
Education is part of every visit. We’ll review ways to avoid triggers, manage allergies or smoke exposure, and strengthen your lungs with healthy habits.
