What are the symptoms of tracheitis?

Bronchitis is a very common disease in respiratory medicine and can be categorized into acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis based on the duration of the disease. Generally, regardless of the type, the symptoms presented by patients are primarily discomfort in the respiratory tract, such as fever, fatigue, cough, expectoration, breathlessness, chest tightness, and wheezing in cases of acute bronchitis. For patients with chronic bronchitis during acute episodes, there generally is no fever, but the primary symptoms are persistent cough and expectoration, along with wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness. Additionally, symptoms may vary between the elderly and the young when they contract bronchitis, thus clinical symptoms are predominantly as described above.

What should be paid attention to in bronchitis?

Bronchitis is a common respiratory infection. First, it is important to rest, drink plenty of water, abstain from smoking and alcohol, and avoid foods that are highly irritating. Do not eat spicy foods like chili peppers, avoid seafood, and reduce consumption of greasy foods like meat. Instead, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. You can use pear with rock sugar and Fritillaria cirrhosa to make a drink that helps dilute phlegm and relieve coughing. The treatment mainly involves choosing antibacterial drugs to control the infection and using medications to dilute phlegm and relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasms. In addition, it is important to measure body temperature and ensure the room is well-ventilated and disinfected. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a doctor.)

Symptoms of Tracheitis and Pneumonia

Bronchitis and pneumonia are two different types of diseases. Bronchitis often presents only with symptoms like coughing and expectoration, while fever and wheezing are relatively less common. Pneumonia is a common infectious disease of the respiratory system, and its main clinical symptoms include fever, cough, expectoration, wheezing, chest pain, etc. We can differentiate bronchitis from pneumonia through pulmonary imaging, as bronchitis on imaging is characterized by coarse patterning and disorganized structures in both lungs.

Can tracheitis cause coughing up blood?

Bronchitis is very common clinically and can be divided into chronic bronchitis and acute bronchitis depending on the duration of the illness. Typically, in cases of severe coughing, bronchitis may present with symptoms such as cough, sputum production, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and even blood in the sputum. Generally, bronchitis does not cause the patient to spit blood, which is usually indicative of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, inflammatory lesions in the bronchi can cause the small capillaries on the surface of the bronchi to rupture during severe coughing, leading to bleeding that is typically manifested as blood-streaked sputum. In cases where there is a large amount of bleeding, vomiting blood may occur, making it a relatively common clinical occurrence.

Can you smoke with tracheitis?

Tracheitis is primarily caused by the decrease in our body's resistance, followed by infections from various external pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, manifesting mainly with symptoms of cough, phlegm, fever, and wheezing. Since tobacco can produce a large amount of smoke, which is an irritant to the trachea, it can induce symptoms like cough, phlegm, and even chest tightness and wheezing in patients. Thus, for patients suffering from tracheitis, smoking might exacerbate their condition, worsening the existing illness. Therefore, we advise patients with tracheitis to avoid smoking and to stay in environments with fresh, clean air as such conditions are beneficial for recovery.
