The asthmatic sharp bronchitis can take place as result of an asthmatic crisis or can be the reason of the above mentioned crisis.  In the children, on the other hand, the sharp infantile bronchitis happens because of a virus, though in he 6-year-old major children it can originate for bacteria.  The sharp bronchitis is generally a slight disorder, appears after a common cold or other viral infections in the respiratory high tract.  Also it can appear in children with chronic sinusitis, allergies and adenopatías.  The pneumonia is a complication that one can present after the bronchitis.

The symptoms of sharp bronchitis are: dry cough, that in a few days can move on to productive cough is to say, the child expectorates phlegms with the cough), respiratory noises (snores, strange chest whistling), fever of changeable intensity (not major of 38,5 º C), and respiratory difficulty (difficulty in breathing, fatigue) in general slightly showy.
