How can bronchitis be diagnosed?

Patient's question:

Every time the doctor examines my throat, they say it's bronchitis. I'm very curious about how the diagnosis of bronchitis is made?

Doctor's answer:

The condition of bronchitis, in addition to the symptoms of recurring cough and sputum, must also have rales or wheezing sounds in the trachea, or the sound of coarse breathing, or scattered moist rales in both lung bases. If a careful X-ray examination reveals the phenomenon of thickened lung texture in both lungs, this condition can be diagnosed as bronchitis. Bronchitis patients are caused by inflammatory infections, which are related to their relatively low immunity and resistance. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce immunity treatment and identify the pathogen to use medication targeting the pathogen.
