“What does bronchitis do to your lungs?”
I am a 17 year old male. I previously had bronchitis. What does bronchitis do to your lungs?

Bronchitis inflames the bronchioles (small airways) and creates mucous that cause persistent cough and sometimes sputum production.
Bronchitis can produce symptoms of cough(which can be dry or associated with phlegm/sputum), shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, and/ or pulmonary congestion. These symptoms stem from the inflammation, bronchospasm, and hypercellularity in the brochial tubes--ergo "bronchitis"
Not a thing. Your bronchi are the tubes leading into your lungs.
