Avoid Irritants

If you have bronchitis, make it a point to stay away from irritants like smoke, chemical fumes, dust, and air pollution which can irritate your lungs and cause further inflammation of the mucus membranes. If you have bronchitis, you may develop a cough that lasts for several weeks — but it can last up to a few months if your bronchial tubes take a long time to heal fully because you continue to expose them to irritants. Avoiding irritants sounds like common sense, but what if you work around chemicals or dust? Make sure to wear a mask or keep a window open in order to mitigate the irritation as much as possible, in those cases.
