Allergic Bronchitis is a type of lung problem where the airways (tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs) become inflamed due to an allergic reaction. When someone with this condition breathes in things they're allergic to, like pollen or dust, it can irritate their lungs, causing coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
Unlike infectious bronchitis caused by viruses or bacteria, allergic bronchitis occurs from an immune response to environmental triggers.
Acute Allergic Bronchitis – Short-term inflammation, usually flares up and resolves with treatment or removal of allergens.
Chronic Allergic Bronchitis – Long-term inflammation often linked to frequent or prolonged exposure to allergens; may lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) over time.
