A Runny Nose
A runny nose is a common sign of acute bronchitis. As it is also associated with a number of other conditions like common cold, flu, and sinusitis, most people don’t consider it as a warning sign of acute bronchitis. The development of other related sign raises the concern.
Similar to the inflammation of lungs, acute bronchitis also causes inflammation of the nasal lining (mucous membranes) that starts producing more nasal secretions and leads to a runny nose. The common home remedies to address a runny nose wouldn’t help in case of acute bronchitis and you need to consult your health care provider for further evaluation.
