Treating Bronchitis near Valmont, CO

Acute bronchitis can be caused by a viral infection or bacteria. It can occur after a bout of the flu or by itself. It’s a contagious illness regardless of the cause, so it’s important to receive treatment to keep others safe. If you’re suffering from a frequent cough, a lack of energy, a fever, and shortness of breath, you likely have acute bronchitis.

Our providers at AFC Longmont will look at a patient's medical history, ask questions about their symptoms, and potentially take scans with our digital x-ray to diagnose bronchitis. From there, our providers will recommend OTC medications to help with symptoms or prescribe an antibiotic, depending on the cause.

Rest is crucial while recovering from bronchitis. If you find yourself tired, it’s important to give your body the opportunity to rest. Medications may help, but rest is imperative.
