Make sure to wear the proper safety equipment, if your workplace exposes you to these irritants or chemicals. It would also be a good idea to practice proper safety protocols to avoid being affected by these irritants.
Get a flu vaccine
Another bronchitis prevention tip would be to get the yearly flu vaccine. This is because the virus that causes the flu can also cause bronchitis.
By getting vaccinated, you are lowering your risk of getting the flu as well as bronchitis.
Wash your hands often
One important thing that a lot of people need to remember is to wash their hands often. Be sure to wash your hands before eating, before, after, and while preparing food, and wash your hands if you’re caring for someone sick. It would also be a good idea to wash your hands every time you get home from being outside, since your hands could have been exposed to various bacteria and viruses.
When it comes to this particular bronchitis prevention tip, you don’t need to use any fancy soaps when you’re washing your hands. Just be sure to do it under running water, and wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds.
