Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Could you please tell me what are the complications of acute bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
If the patient is generally healthy and has a good immune system, active treatment is usually never likely to lead to any complications. If the patient is generally weak and the inflammation cannot be suppressed, there may be a possibility of the inflammation spreading upwards, leading to lower respiratory tract infections or pneumonia. It is necessary to follow the doctor's advice and actively treat the condition. According to traditional Chinese medicine, this situation is generally considered to have symptoms of excessive lung fire.
