Acute Bronchitis Prevention

Good handwashing is one of the best ways to avoid exposure to viruses and other respiratory infections.

Since influenza viruses have been shown to be a significant cause of bronchitis, yearly ful vaccination may also help prevent acute bronchitis.

Minimize exposure to cold, damp environments which, combined with air pollution or tobacco smoke, may make people more susceptible to bronchitis.
