Is bronchitis worse in morning or night?

FAQ

Bronchitis symptoms can be worse in the morning or at night, depending on the individual and the type of bronchitis they have.

In the case of acute bronchitis, symptoms such as coughing and wheezing may be worse at night due to lying down, which can lead to increased congestion in the airways. However, coughing may also be worse in the morning due to postnasal drip or accumulation of mucus in the airways during sleep.

In chronic bronchitis, the symptoms may be more persistent and severe in the morning due to the accumulation of mucus in the airways overnight. This can lead to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

It is important to note that everyone’s experience with bronchitis can be different, and the severity and timing of symptoms may vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause of bronchitis. If you are experiencing bronchitis symptoms, it is recommended to speak with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
