Answer by Madness
Asthma is an obstructive lung disease which is characterised by an inability to exhale properly. It is caused by any irritation in the lung, including allergies, emotional stress, drugs, viruses etc.
Bronchitis is also obstructive but is caused by excess mucus in the bronchi, also
Answer by Doc8
Bronchitis is an infection of the bronchi by a bacterium or virus. Asthma is an allergic reaction causing bronchial constriction.

asthma is a chronic condition where the muscles around the lungs tighten and bronchitis is where you wheeze and cough up flem and have a tightness in your chest... an inhaler will treat the symptoms of asthma but not bronchitis. for either, you should see your doctor
Answer by pvreditor
Anything with an "itis" at the end is an inflammation, usually caused by an infection by a microbe. Thus, bronchitis is an inflammation of the lungs, usually caused by bacteria. There is a lot of coughing and wheezing with bronchitis.
Asthma is often an allergic response that causes passages in the lungs to constrict, making it hard to breath. This causes a lot of wheezing and often a look of panic on the sufferer's face. But there is usually no coughing.
