I do not know what the differences between these diagnoses are:
bronchitis
bronchial-sino syndrome (not sure of the spelling on that one)
asthmatic bronchitis
bronchoiolitis
Czarina (who has a history of respiratory illnesses including the above, asthma, and pnuemonia) was diagnosed at the Urgent Care Clinic on Saturday with asthmatic bronchitis. We took her to her regular doctor yesterday because she really wasn't getting better with the meds the Urgent Care doctor prescribed. He thinks she doesn't have bronchitis, it's asthma. Her breathing sounds horrible, but she at least isn't coughing as much as she was.
We have a Bible Quiz on Saturday, and it's near the International Grocery Store, and we were planning to go there after the quiz. . . the ladyd who runs it is Russian, and they have a lot of Russian foods there. I'm hoping she's well enough by Saturday to go. She's taking 5 different meds right now (including the inhaler and nightly cough syrup) so I hope this helps!

Wow- we'll be praying she can make it- the Quiz and the Market would be sorely missed!
BTW, I checked on those Japanese tapes, and we gave them away when we thought we were moving to China. My apologies for any hopes raised falsely!!!!
Asthmatic bronchitis is when your bronchial tubes get an infection from an asthma attack, and not on their own. Thus, if the asthma is controlled (like anybody can control asthma 100%), the bronchitis shouldn't come back.
Bronchial-sino syndrome is bronchitis that is started by having a cold in your nose and the mucus moves the infection down into the bronchial tubes. Once the cold is gone, the bronchitis can be cured with anti-inflammatories.
Bronchiolitis is when the smaller air passages that attach to the bronchial tubes become infected, whether from a cold, asthma, virus, or random nastiness.
Hugs to Czarina- I hope she feels better tonight!
