About Bronchitis
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from your lungs. People with bronchitis often cough up thickened mucus. Acute bronchitis is very common and often develops from a cold or respiratory infection. Most cases improve within a week to 10 days, though the cough may linger.
Common Causes
- Viral infections (same viruses causing colds and flu)
- Bacterial infections (less common)
- Exposure to tobacco smoke
- Air pollution and dust
- Fumes and chemical irritants
- Gastric reflux
- Weakened immune system

Healthcare in Salamanca: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Salamanca and across Castile and León, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Salamanca comes under SACYL, the Gerencia Regional de Salud de Castilla y León, the regional health service for Spain's largest autonomous community by area. Spanish is the only official language. State healthcare is run at regional level, so the rules you meet depend on where you are rather than on Spain as a whole. EU, EEA and Swiss visitors holding an EHIC (or a UK GHIC) can use public primary care and emergency departments on the same terms as residents, though you will normally be asked for the card plus photo ID at reception. Outside surgery hours, pharmacies operate a rota — the farmacia de guardia — and the duty pharmacy is posted in the window of every closed chemist. Salamanca's health demand is dominated by its university: the Universidad de Salamanca, founded in 1218 and the oldest in Spain, together with the city's many Spanish-language schools, gives it one of the highest concentrations of international students and Erasmus arrivals in the country relative to its size. That population characteristically arrives for a term or a summer course, has not registered with a centro de salud, needs contraception, repeat prescriptions and mental-health support, and is navigating the system in a second language. The city is inland on the Castilian meseta at around 800 metres, with cold winters and a marked respiratory-illness season, and its visitor numbers rise and fall with the academic calendar rather than the beach season.
