[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis in Children[/b][/size][hr]Acute bronchitis may follow the common cold or other viral infections in the upper respiratory tract. The following are the most common symptoms for acute bronchitis: In the earlier stages of the illness, kids may have a dry, nonproductive cough which progresses later to an abundant mucus-filled cough. In some cases, other tests may be done to exclude other diseases, like pneumonia or asthma: In many cases, antibiotic treatment is just not necessary to treat acute bronchitis, since most of the illnesses are caused by viruses.
[size=large][b]Symptoms and Causes[/b][/size][hr]Other signs of childhood asthma include: The first signs of asthma in young children may be repeated wheezing activated by a respiratory virus. Asthma signs and symptoms vary from child to child, and may get worse or better over time. Creating an asthma action plan can help you and other health professionals monitor symptoms and uses and side effects do if an asthma attack does occur if your child is identified as having asthma. These causes can comprise and vary from child to child: Occasionally, asthma symptoms occur with no clear triggers.
Coughing occasionally is said to be very necessary because it helps in clearing the throat and airways. Cough can be either productive or dry. When a person has dry cough, he or she does not spit out phlegm which accompanies productive cough. When a person experiences bouts of dry cough, also known as unproductive cough, it can be said that he/she has chronic dry cough. Dry cough may start along with common cold, but if it stays for more than eight weeks, even after one is relieved of the cold, it can be said to be a dry cough. People who are chain smokers are also at a high risk of suffering from such cough. The cause of chronic cough cannot be restricted to only one factor. There are actually many causes that can act as a trigger for this problem.

Has been suggested that humans with a weak immune system (like babies and pregnant women) are more prone to contract respiratory infection from dogs with kennel cough. In case of children, who are more involved with pet dogs, chances of infection are very high. Another contention is that unlike viruses, bacteria that cause kennel cough are not species specific. So in case of dogs with kennel cough caused by bacteria like Bordetella bronchiseptica, there are chances of humans contracting respiratory problems from them. In fact, Bordetella bronchiseptica is closely related to the agent, which causes whooping cough in humans.
