About Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the airways in the lungs, typically after a cold or flu, causing a cough that can last for weeks.
Common Triggers
Viruses are behind most cases, so antibiotics rarely help. Smoking, pollution and dust make it worse.
Symptoms of Bronchitis
- Chest soreness
- Mild fever
- Cough, sometimes with phlegm
- Wheeze or a rattling chest
What to Know About Bronchitis in Taksim
Taksim and Istiklal Avenue are crowded day and night, so tummy bugs, colds and tired feet are common. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
Travel Guide to Taksim
Taksim is the hub of modern Istanbul, where Istiklal Avenue runs past galleries, cafes and shops. Trip for travellers: ride the nostalgic tram, visit Galata Tower and shop for fashion, books and street snacks. For the water, take a Bosphorus ferry.
