The scientific name for this disease is Laryngitis and the common name is basically bronchitis. There are two types of bronchitis’s, acute and the chronic. So in this wiki, I am going to talk about the most common bronchitis disease: acute bronchitis.
Acute bronchitis is most often created or caused by viruses which causes infection to the bronchi and ending up increasing the size of the mucus.
There are many symptoms to bronchitis, like for example: Cough, Runny Noses, Sore - Throat, Low Fever, etc.
Acute Bronchitis is most often developed during a course in the upper respiratory infection.
Only 5 - 10 percent are created by bacterial infections and in most cases they just simply resolve in a matter of 2 to 3 weeks.

Cures to Acute Bronchitis
The main way to cure acute bronchitis is to decrease the inflammation
Albuterol inhalation could help and widen the bronchial tubes
Some short term steroid therapy will help minimize the inflammation in the bronchial tubes
Drinking plenty of water and fluids will keep the patient hydrated which leads secretions in the bronchial tubes more watery and easier to get rid of
However, most types of acute bronchitis is caused by viruses and bacteria’s so no antibodies is required
