<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are &lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/allergy.html"&gt;allergic&lt;/a&gt; to or find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Symptoms of asthma include&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Wheezing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coughing, especially early in the morning or at night&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chest tightness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Shortness of breath&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not all people who have asthma have these symptoms. Having these symptoms doesn't always mean that you have asthma. Your doctor will diagnose asthma based on lung function tests, your medical history, and a physical exam. You may also have allergy tests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When your asthma symptoms become worse than usual, it's called an asthma attack. Severe asthma attacks may require emergency care, and they can be fatal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Chronic Bronchitis</title>

      <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the airways that carry air to your lungs. It causes a cough that often brings up mucus, as well as shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: &lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/acutebronchitis.html"&gt;acute&lt;/a&gt; and chronic. &lt;/p&gt;&#xd;&#xd;&lt;p&gt;Chronic bronchitis is one type of &lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/copdchronicobstructivepulmonarydisease.html"&gt;COPD&lt;/a&gt; (chronic obstructive &#xd;pulmonary disease).  The inflamed bronchi produce a lot of mucus. This leads to cough and difficulty getting air in and out of the lungs. Cigarette &lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/smoking.html"&gt;smoking&lt;/a&gt;  is the most common cause. Breathing in other fumes and dusts over a long period of time may also cause chronic bronchitis. Treatment will help your symptoms, but chronic bronchitis is a long-term condition that keeps coming back or never goes away completely.&lt;/p&gt;&#xd;&#xd;&lt;p class="NLMattribution"&gt;	NIH: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="NLMrelatedLinks"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001087.htm"&gt;Bronchitis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003804.htm"&gt;Chest x-ray&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000053.htm"&gt;How to breathe when you are short of breath&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000066.htm"&gt;Traveling with breathing problems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000048.htm"&gt;Using oxygen at home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
