Tracheitis is a respiratory infectious disease that is contagious, especially among children with weak constitutions and elderly patients with multiple ailments. Close contact with individuals suffering from tracheitis might lead to the transmission of the disease through airborne droplets to those with low immunity. Hence, it is recommended that individuals suffering from this disease wear masks to reduce viral transmission and, if possible, undergo isolation treatment. Drinking plenty of water, resting, avoiding smoking and alcohol, consuming a light diet, and seeking timely treatment typically lead to full recovery within about a week.
