Is tracheitis contagious?

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.

Can you eat sweets with tracheitis?

Bronchitis is very common in clinical settings and can be divided into acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis based on the duration of the patient's illness. Chronic bronchitis generally causes patients to experience recurrent symptoms such as coughing, phlegm, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and even difficulty breathing. For patients with chronic bronchitis, it is important to avoid eating foods that are overly sweet, overly greasy, as well as high-temperature fried foods, and to avoid spicy and irritating foods. Therefore, it is generally not recommended for patients with bronchitis to consume sweets, as sweet foods can lead to an increase in the secretion of mucus and may also increase the viscosity of the phlegm coughed up by the patient, thereby hindering the improvement of the patient's symptoms. Thus, it is not advisable for patients with bronchitis to eat sweet foods.
