Bronchitis: Bronchitis implies inflammation of bronchial tubes. When this happens, the bronchial tubes swell and produce mucus. This makes you cough. Most healthy people who get acute bronchitis get better without any problems with OTC cough medications. However, it could be serious in older adults and children and in people with other health problems, especially lung diseases such as asthma or COPD.
