Symptoms of tracheitis
Tracheitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the trachea. What are the symptoms after contracting tracheitis? Common symptoms of tracheitis include fever, cough, expectoration, and some patients may also experience chest tightness and shortness of breath. After developing tracheitis, it is first necessary to address the cause of the disease. For instance, treatment should be based on whether the cause is bacteria, viruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, etc. If it can be clearly determined, appropriate medications should be chosen for treatment. Additionally, symptomatic treatment should be considered, such as using antipyretics for fever. For symptoms like cough and expectoration, cough suppressants and expectorants can be used, and so forth. (Specific medication use should be under the guidance of a doctor.)
What medicine is used for bronchial asthma?
Bronchial asthma, although common, currently has no specific treatment. The primary aim of medication is to control symptoms. There are two main types of medications used to treat asthma: one type is known as bronchodilators, commonly including receptor agonists, anticholinergics, and theophylline. The other type is anti-inflammatory drugs, commonly including corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers, sodium cromoglycate, nedocromil sodium, and ketotifen. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, according to specific circumstances.)
Can pneumothorax patients take a plane?
Pneumothorax is a relatively common clinical condition, usually caused by a rupture of the pleura, allowing air to enter the pleural cavity. Patients often experience symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, and coughing. So, can someone with pneumothorax fly on an airplane? Patients with pneumothorax are prohibited from flying because the high altitude may aggravate the condition, leading to serious consequences. Even after pneumothorax has healed, it is advised not to fly within a year, as flying may cause the pneumothorax to recur.
How to maintain health after recovering from tuberculosis?
Now, tuberculosis is a curable disease. Therefore, after recovering from tuberculosis, the first step in maintenance is to stay calm and not to consider oneself as a patient anymore. After recovery, one's health status is the same as before, and it is crucial to maintain a healthy mental state. Additionally, one should have a regular lifestyle, balanced nutrition; avoid overwork and staying up late; avoid smoking and drinking; actively exercise and engage in outdoor activities to enhance the body's resistance and adaptability; with changes in weather, timely adjust clothing to avoid catching cold, and actively prevent colds and so on.
How is mycoplasma infection treated?
After Mycoplasma infects the human body, it often causes mycoplasma pneumonia, with symptoms such as fever and cough. Most cases of mycoplasma pneumonia infection are self-limiting, meaning many patients can recover without medication. If medication is used, macrolides or fluoroquinolones are typically chosen, with a treatment duration of about two to three weeks. Additionally, symptomatic treatment drugs can be used, such as antipyretic analgesics for fever and cough suppressants for cough.
How long should one take Azithromycin for Mycoplasma pneumonia?
After Mycoplasma pneumoniae infects the human body, it often causes acute bronchitis and pneumonia, with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, headache, cough, and fatigue. In this case, using azithromycin for treatment, the general course of treatment is two to three weeks, after which most patients can recover. Additionally, antipyretic and cough suppressant medications can also be used to alleviate symptoms and reduce the patient's discomfort.
Is meningitis severe?
Meningitis is an infectious inflammation that occurs in the meninges and the brain and spinal meninges, and some may also involve the brain parenchyma. Meningitis is generally a serious disease, and if not treated promptly, it can develop into cerebral edema and severe cases may lead to brain herniation, respiratory and circulatory failure, endangering life. Some patients may even experience a decline in intelligence, paralysis, and other sequelae after recovery, severely affecting the quality of life. Therefore, it is important to actively treat meningitis once contracted.
What are the symptoms of flu?
Influenza, commonly known as the flu, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. What are the symptoms after contracting the flu? Typically, the onset of influenza is quite sudden, and symptoms such as chills, high fever, headache, dizziness, body aches, and fatigue can appear quickly. Generally, the symptoms in the nasopharyngeal area are relatively mild and prolonged, and may include sore throat, runny nose, tearing, coughing, etc. After contracting the flu, it is important to actively cooperate with medical treatment and also to ensure isolation to prevent infecting others.
Is acute bronchitis curable?
Acute bronchitis is a relatively common clinical condition. Patients often experience symptoms such as coughing and expectoration. Some may have chest tightness, shortness of breath, blood in sputum, and fever. Generally, after contracting acute bronchitis, it is important to rest, stay hydrated, avoid fatigue, and avoid getting chilled. Regarding medications, if there is a cough without sputum, cough suppressants can be used. If there is excessive sputum, expectorants should be used. For chest tightness and shortness of breath, asthma medication is needed, and antipyretic analgesics are used for fever to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is evidence of bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment should be used under the guidance of a physician and not purchased privately. Generally, with the aforementioned treatments, most patients can be cured with a good prognosis.
Can I eat lamb with an upper respiratory infection?
Mutton is delicious and highly nutritious, making it a favorite food among the people in our country. However, can one still eat mutton after contracting an upper respiratory tract infection? Whether it is appropriate to eat mutton depends on the specific circumstances. If the symptoms are mild after falling ill, with no fever, and the patient's appetite is still good, then it is permissible to eat mutton under these conditions. However, if the patient's symptoms are severe, with a noticeable fever and poor appetite, it is then advised not to consume mutton. In such cases, it is generally recommended to follow a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. Mutton tends to be greasy and hard to digest, which could hinder recovery from the illness.
