A member asked:
After recovering from chemical bronchitis will my lungs always be susceptible to coughs and infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It depends on the severity of the exposure, what the exposure was and your underlying lung status. You are right, some people after pulmonary exposures to toxins/chemicals have sensitized/compromised airways but that isn't always the case for everyone.
