Antibiotics provided no measurable impact on the severity or duration of coughs, even if a bacterial infection was present, in patients seeking care for lower respiratory tract infections.
People who had bronchitis at least once before the age of seven are more likely to develop lung problems in later life, according to research presented at the virtual ERS 2020.
A clinical study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of treating chronic bronchitis patients with the RejuvenAir System, a "cryotherapy" spray that freezes and ablates unwanted tissue inside the lungs.
