Tracheitis is a very common respiratory disease. Clinically, tracheitis mainly causes symptoms such as fever, cough, phlegm, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and even different degrees of tracheal spasm depending on the type of tracheitis, which can also lead to varying degrees of respiratory difficulties and other clinical symptoms. Patients with tracheitis may have either acute or chronic conditions. Regardless of the type of bronchitis, eating some mangosteen during an attack can be beneficial. Mangosteen has excellent properties for reducing noise, clearing heat, and detoxifying. For patients with long-term cough, consuming mangosteen can also supplement some nutrients needed by the body, enhance the patient's immunity, and replenish common trace elements such as potassium and sodium. Therefore, patients with tracheitis can eat mangosteen.

What are the symptoms of tracheitis?

The typical symptoms of tracheitis are common respiratory symptoms, such as sore throat, fever, cough, sputum, chest pain, as well as difficulty breathing, hypoxia, and other symptoms. Some patients primarily present with sudden high fever in the early stages. If the patients are infants, their symptoms appear as poor mental state, refusal to feed, and fever. Diagnostic procedures like chest X-rays and routine blood tests are needed to confirm the cause, and specific treatments should be adopted accordingly, with regular follow-ups. The main principle of treatment is anti-inflammatory therapy.

What department is for tracheitis?

Bronchitis is a common respiratory disease, and clinically, it often presents with symptoms such as fever, cough, and expectoration. Some patients may also experience chest tightness and shortness of breath, and they should consult a respiratory medicine department. After the visit, the doctor may conduct tests including a complete blood count, C-reactive protein, chest imaging, etc., to confirm the diagnosis of bronchitis. In terms of treatment, the first step is to use medication based on the cause of the disease; for example, if it is caused by bacterial infection, sensitive antibiotics will be used for treatment. Additionally, symptomatic treatment medications may be chosen based on symptoms, such as cough suppressants and expectorants, etc. (Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)

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.)

Does tracheitis require surgery?

The so-called tracheitis is a non-specific inflammation caused by various triggering factors that irritate the trachea. For patients with tracheitis, as long as appropriate antiallergic treatment is given, relieving tracheal spasms, anti-infection, cough suppression, expectoration, asthma relief, and other symptomatic treatments, the discomfort caused by tracheitis can be effectively controlled. Therefore, patients with tracheitis do not require surgical treatment, and surgery cannot cure tracheitis. Therefore, in cases of tracheitis, some are caused by allergic factors, some by excessive vigorous exercise, and others by viral or bacterial infection. Thus, for tracheitis caused by different triggering factors, symptomatic treatment can usually effectively control the symptoms caused by tracheitis.

Is it good to always cough up phlegm with tracheitis?

Tracheitis is a common respiratory disease. Infections by microorganisms, physical and chemical factors, allergies, and other factors can cause tracheitis. Symptoms often include coughing and expectorating phlegm after contracting tracheitis. Constantly coughing up phlegm is not good, as we know that coughing up phlegm is not a normal condition but a pathological manifestation. This often occurs when there is inflammation in the tracheal mucosa, causing an increase in secretions which then mix with inhaled dust, pathogens, etc., and are expelled by coughing. Therefore, constantly coughing up phlegm indicates persistent inflammation of the organs, which is not a good sign.
