A member asked:
If someome with asthma has bronchitis, can the bronchitis affect their asthma? if so, what extra measures can that person take to prevent an attack?

; vice versa: Bronchitis merely means inflammation of the bronchial tree. In a way, asthma is the result of inflammation of the airway mostly from eosinophils when the problem is allergic. You need to consult an allergist if the problem is not controlled. A viral infection often causes bronchitis and then exacerbation of asthma.
