Both types are characterized by inflammation of the airways leading to the lungs but both have different causes and, obviously, last for different periods of time.In acute bronchitis, the lung infection causes symptoms of fevers, chills, coughing and a pain in your chest. The symptoms will last a few days and the coughing perhaps may last as long as three weeks.
