A member asked:
Will acute bronchitis or pneumonia permanently damage the lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends. Isolated bronchitis usually does not cause lasting damage. Bronchitis due to whooping cough can cause permanent damage. Similarly, most pneumonias resolve completely, staphylococcal pneumonia can cause permanent damage.
