Bronchitis is an inflammation of the breathing tubes that can cause a buildup of mucus. Acute bronchitis can last up to two weeks, and usually requires a lot of at-home rest and over-the-counter medications to alleviate symptoms. In some cases, bronchitis may last longer and leave a lingering cough that could require professional care.
Whenever you need same-day bronchitis treatment, visit AFC Urgent Care Elizabeth for comprehensive and affordable treatment options. Find much needed relief from your bronchitis and cough symptoms via our urgent care center and walk-in clinic.

Bronchitis typically surfaces after you’ve been diagnosed with the flu, common cold, or other virus. It can feel like a lingering cough that disrupts your sleep schedule and daily routine. Each person may experience symptoms differently, so it can be difficult to distinguish bronchitis on your own. The medical providers at AFC Elizabeth can accurately diagnose your symptoms thanks to the clinic’s on-site labs.
Some common symptoms of bronchitis include:
Bronchitis can last up to a few weeks. Don’t wait and allow your symptoms to get the best for you. Visit AFC Urgent Care Elizabeth for quality bronchitis treatment. Our board-certified providers can make recommendations for your treatment and give you remedies to help ease your symptoms.
Bronchitis is a virus, meaning antibiotics will not be effective at treating the symptoms. In most cases, our providers will examine your symptoms and recommend either OTC cough medicines or write a prescription cough medicine. Treatment plans will depend on how severe your case is, and whether you’re experiencing acute or chronic bronchitis.
Other medications such as fever reducers or pain relievers may also be prescribed or recommended. To prevent and lessen symptoms, it’s recommended to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke, take cough medicine, humidify the air, and increase your intake of fluids.
