it as well.
c. Whatever virus is present will cause inflammation, epithelial cell
edema in the linings of the small airways, copious mucus
production, and even some necrosis.
d. The inflammation and epithelial cell edema cause airway
obstruction in the small bronchioles and alveolar epithelial cells.
e. The epithelial necrosis causes dense plugging of the bronchial
lining, which then causes airway resistance, atelectasis,
hyperinflation, and
increased mucus production.
f. Usually if the case is mild, the symptoms will last for 1-3 days

flaring, and respiratory distress.
