There are two main types of bronchitis:
* Acute bronchitis: This is a short-term infection that usually lasts for a few days to a couple of weeks. It is often caused by a virus, but can also be caused by bacteria.
* Chronic bronchitis: This is a long-term condition where the lining of the bronchial tubes is constantly inflamed. It is often caused by smoking or exposure to other irritants, like air pollution.
