What should I do if my child has tracheal inflammation?

Bronchitis is a very common disease when babies are young. Most bronchitis occurs due to respiratory tract infections. If a baby suffers from bronchitis, parents must treat it in time. Tracheitis is generally divided into acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Most babies suffer from acute bronchitis. It is very important for babies to receive timely and effective treatment after suffering from bronchitis.

Bronchitis is very common in children, mostly secondary to upper respiratory tract infection. At the beginning of the disease, there are symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as nasal congestion and runny nose, followed by intermittent dry cough. At the beginning of the disease, respiratory secretions increase, and the cough is accompanied by phlegm. The phlegm is initially sticky and quickly turns into purulent phlegm. After 5-10 days, the phlegm becomes thinner and the cough gradually disappears. When the disease occurs, there may be no fever or a fever of around 38.5℃, and the fever will subside after 2-4 days.

In infancy, there is a special type of bronchitis called asthmatic bronchitis, which is more common in obese children under 2 years old, who often have a history of eczema and allergies. Asthma symptoms appear soon after onset and may recur. Generally, the symptoms disappear by the time the child reaches school age. Only a few develop bronchial asthma when they are older. The cause of the disease may be that the child is allergic to the infection, which manifests as bronchial spasm and causes wheezing.
