Bronchitis how long does it take?


if you caughrt it off someone, how long would it take to kick in?and if someone is taking antibiotics/steroids for bronchitis does that mean it is a contagious version??

I'm sure you already know that bronchitis is a swelling of the respiratory tissues. Sometimes it is caused by an outside stimuli, such as smoking, or being in a smokey or dusty or polluted atmosphere. Sometimes it can be caused by a virus or bacteria.

If the person is taking anti-biotics and had been for at least 24 hours before you were exposed, you shouldn't get it, assuming that he was infected with some sort of bacteria. If it was viral, you should see the effects within 72 hours.

Hope this helps.
