For example, such as the common cold, phlegmy cough, respiratory tract infections, and influenza. This drug comes from the Adhatoda vasica plant and helps clear excess mucus, relieve breathing, and reduce coughing.

What is Bronchiolitis? Bronchiolitis is a disease that attacks the respiratory tract. This condition is generally experienced by infants and children under the age of two. This condition occurs due to an infection in the respiratory tract that triggers inflammation, as well as blockage of the bronchioles. Bronchioles themselves are small respiratory tracts located in the lungs. Infection or inflammation can be caused by several types of viruses, including flu and cold viruses. However, the type of virus that most often causes this condition (especially in children under two years of age) is the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Children usually catch the…

What is Bronchopneumonia? Bronchopneumonia is a form of pneumonia that affects the alveoli and bronchi in the lungs. Meanwhile, wet lungs are a condition that causes inflammation in the lungs so that the alveoli fill with fluid. The fluid interferes with the normal functioning of the lungs, resulting in a variety of respiratory problems. Bronchopneumonia can cause inflammation of the lungs with symptoms that can range from mild to severe and may include cough, difficulty breathing, and fever. Symptoms of Bronchopneumonia Symptoms of bronchopneumonia vary, depending on the severity of the condition. Typically, symptoms are more likely to be severe…

Untreated and worsening bronchitis can increase the risk of developing pneumonia with symptoms such as fever, chest pain, and decreased consciousness. Symptoms of Bronchitis The most common symptom of bronchitis is coughing. The cough can be dry or phlegmy. In a…

What is Bronchiectasis? Bronchiectasis is a condition where there is permanent widening and damage to the bronchi and respiratory tract. This condition causes mucus to build up in the lungs. Shortness of breath and persistent coughing up phlegm are the two conditions that most often appear when someone experiences bronchiectasis. The respiratory system itself has a way of protecting itself to catch bacteria that come from outside air by producing mucus. This mucus will flow out of the lungs and respiratory tract under normal conditions. Meanwhile, in people with bronchiectasis, the damage causes the function to not run optimally. As a…
