Urgent Care Evaluation and Management of Acute Bronchitis

Acute bronchitis is common in the urgent care setting and is a clinical diagnosis. Patients typically present with acute onset of cough that has lasted for 1 to 3 weeks, and although symptoms resolve without intervention, it is important to consider and evaluate for don t-miss diagnoses and disease processes that can mimic acute bronchitis. Treatment is largely supportive, and antibiotics should not be given for most patients with acute bronchitis. Patients should also receive education about their illness and should be provided with strict return precautions. By following evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of acute bronchitis, urgent care clinicians can avoid ordering unnecessary tests and medications.
