Because bronchitis is caused by cold and flu viruses, it often starts with symptoms like a sore throat and runny nose. The illness results from an infection traveling from your nose and throat to your lungs, leading to swelling and inflammation in your bronchial tubes. This causes a dry cough that often produces mucus (phlegm) that is yellowish-gray or green in color.
