Bronchitis is a respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, leading to persistent cough, mucus production, chest discomfort, wheezing, and breathlessness. It can be acute (short-term, often due to viral or bacterial infections) or chronic (long-standing, commonly associated with smoking, pollution, or recurrent infections).
Dr. Pankaj Gujar provides comprehensive and personalized care for both acute and chronic bronchitis, focusing on accurate diagnosis and effective symptom relief. The treatment approach includes a detailed clinical evaluation, lung function assessment, and investigations such as chest X-ray or sputum tests when required.
For acute bronchitis, treatment is aimed at relieving symptoms through bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory medications, cough suppressants, nebulization, and supportive care. In cases of bacterial infection, appropriate antibiotics are prescribed.
For chronic bronchitis, long-term management includes inhalation therapy, bronchodilators, steroids (if indicated), pulmonary rehabilitation, lifestyle modification guidance, and prevention of recurrent infections. Smoking cessation counseling and allergy management are also emphasized.
With a patient-centric approach, Dr. Pankaj Gujar ensures improved breathing, reduced exacerbations, and better quality of life for patients suffering from bronchitis.
