Will bronchitis infect other people

Condition analysis:
If your diagnosis is correct, considering your age and the onset time, it should be a kind of acute bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is a non-communicable respiratory disease that will not be transmitted to others. 

Instructions:
Acute bronchitis is inflammation of your bronchial tree. The bronchial tree consists of tubes that carry air into your lungs. When these tubes get infected, they swell and mucus (thick fluid) forms inside them. This makes it hard for you to breathe. Acute bronchitis only lasts a short time (several weeks or less). Chronic bronchitis is long lasting and can reoccur. It usually is caused by constant irritation, such as from smoking.

Useful Tips:
-- Drink fluids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol.
-- Get plenty of rest.
-- Take over-the-counter pain relievers to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and lower your fever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) also helps ease pain and lower your fever.
-- Use cough medicine, if your child is age 6 or older.
-- Increase the humidity in your home or use a humidifier.

Do not hold in a cough that brings up mucus. This type of cough helps clear mucus from your bronchial tree. If you smoke, you should quit. It will help your bronchial tree heal faster.
