Expert Diagnosis & Personalized Bronchitis Care by Dr. Sonia Dalal
Bronchitis is a common respiratory condition that causes inflammation of the bronchial tubes, leading to persistent cough, mucus production, wheezing, and breathing difficulties. While acute bronchitis often develops after a viral infection, chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition commonly associated with smoking or chronic lung disease.
At Kalyan Chest Hospital, Dr. Sonia Dalal provides comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for both acute and chronic bronchitis. As an experienced Pulmonologist and Lung Specialist in Vadodara, she focuses on identifying the underlying cause, relieving symptoms, and preventing future respiratory complications.
If your cough has lasted for several weeks or you experience repeated episodes of bronchitis, early consultation is recommended.
You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience:

These investigations help distinguish bronchitis from pneumonia, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions.
Bronchitis occurs when the airways (bronchial tubes) become inflamed, making it difficult for air to move freely in and out of the lungs. The inflamed airways produce excess mucus, resulting in coughing and chest congestion.
There are two main types:
Acute Bronchitis
Chronic Bronchitis
Treatment depends on whether the bronchitis is acute or chronic and on the underlying cause.
Appropriate medications are prescribed to reduce airway inflammation, relieve symptoms, and support recovery.
Nebulization may be recommended for patients experiencing wheezing or significant breathing difficulty.
Patients with chronic bronchitis or associated airway disease may benefit from inhaler-based treatment.
If bronchitis is linked to asthma, COPD, or allergies, treating the underlying condition is essential to prevent recurrence.
Patients receive guidance on smoking cessation, hydration, avoiding pollutants, vaccinations, and respiratory hygiene to reduce future infections.
Our aim is to provide effective symptom relief while protecting your long-term lung health.
