ACUTE BRONCHITIS VS PNEUMONIA IN CHILDREN

Bronchitis and pneumonia affect the lungs and the respiratory system but are two different conditions. Bronchitis is the inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, while pneumonia is characterized by an infection of the lung tissues.

Bronchitis can be caused by bacterial and viral infections. Children often develop acute bronchitis from cold or other respiratory infections. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites and other microorganisms. Children often get pneumonia as a complication of flu. Bronchitis is mainly of two types, acute and chronic. Acute bronchitis usually lasts for a week or so, while chronic bronchitis can last for more than three months. Pneumonia can be of several types, such as viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, atypical pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia.

Cough is the main symptom of acute bronchitis, which in the early stage, can be dry. Other symptoms of bronchitis are headache, generally feeling ill, chills, mild fever, shortness of breath, feeling of tightness in the chest, wheezing.

Pneumonia also causes cough. A dry or non-productive cough is usually experienced in case of viral pneumonia, which may gradually worsen into a productive cough. With bacterial pneumonia, one can experience a cough that produces green, pus-like or rust-colored sputum. In the early stage, pneumonia can produce flu-like symptoms: high fever, chills, sweating, fatigue, chest pain, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting.

ASTHMA IN CHILDREN

Asthma is a condition that causes difficulty breathing, and it's common among kids and teens. Asthma affects the bronchial tubes, or airways. All children with asthma have inflamed airways. They swell and produce lots of thick mucus. In addition, their airways are overly sensitive, or hyper reactive, to certain asthma triggers. When the muscles surrounding the airways are exposed to these triggers, the airways tighten and become narrower. Some common triggers are exercise, allergies, viral infections, and smoke. During an asthma flare-up (attack, episode) (приступ астмы), kids may experience coughing, wheezing (a whistling sound in the chest when breathing), chest tightness, increased heart rate, sweating, and shortness of breath.
