"Acute bronchitis, also known as a chest cold, is short-term bronchitis – inflammation of the bronchi (large and medium-sized airways) of the lungs.[2][1] The most common symptom is a cough.[1] Other symptoms include coughing up mucus, wheezing, shortness of breath, fever, and chest discomfort.[2] The infection may last from a few to ten days.[2] The cough may persist for several weeks afterward with the total duration of symptoms usually around three weeks.[2][1] Some have symptoms for up to six weeks."
