Symptoms of Bronchitis

When the bronchial tubes get inflamed, their inside opening becomes narrow. This narrowing results in difficulty in breathing. Wheezing, shortness of breath and cough may be observed. Sputum may be expectorated due to the secretions that block the bronchial airways. These secretions may contain inflammatory cells, in which case, the sputum may be yellow or green in color. The severity of the inflammation may cause bleeding.
A person suffering from bronchitis may also develop low grade fever, aches, chills, soreness, malaise or fatigue, sore throat and watery eyes.
