Coughing caused by bronchitis is a reflex to expel the irritants. Bronchitis can be broadly divided into acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is caused due to infection by viruses or bacteria and lasts for several days to a few weeks. The infection is generally caused by the same virus that causes the common cold.
