Is bronchitis something that develops from a cold, or is it its own infection? do people catch bronchitis or just the cold from the sick person?

Bronchitis: is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes and can be caused by multiple issues: viral infection, bacterial infections, exposure to irritants, asthma, allergies, or genetic factors; therefore, it requires a medical examination and if necessary, testing and x-rays.
