Stage 2 bronchitis is a condition in which the bronchial tubes become inflamed and narrowed due to a viral or bacterial infection. Symptoms of stage 2 bronchitis include chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, and an inability to take deep breaths. Treatment may involve antibiotics, inhalers, and corticosteroids. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking and reducing exposure to pollutants can help reduce symptoms.

Stage 2 bronchitis is an advanced form of bronchitis, where inflammation and swelling of the bronchial tubes have progressed. Symptoms usually include a persistent cough, chest pain or tightness, difficulty breathing, and the production of sputum (thick mucus). Treatment typically includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and bronchodilators (drugs that open up the airways). In some cases, supplemental oxygen may also be necessary. It is important to seek medical attention for bronchitis as it can lead to further complications such as pneumonia.
