How to treat tracheitis?

For friends suffering from bronchitis, every attack of the disease may cause a lot of physical and psychological impact. Many patients want to know how to treat tracheitis. So before knowing how to treat tracheitis, we should understand what tracheitis means and what symptoms occur when tracheitis occurs. In fact, tracheitis is caused by infectious or non-infectious factors, which will affect the secretory function of the alveoli and the ventilation function of the lungs. Most patients will experience symptoms such as coughing and wheezing. Moreover, this disease is more common in winter and will be alleviated after spring.

In fact, there are many factors that cause tracheitis. For example, some people may be infected with tracheitis by virus invasion, and some people may get tracheitis due to long-term smoking or stimulation by some toxic and harmful substances. But no matter what the reason is, tracheitis may be caused. Everyone wants to cure this disease, so let’s see how to treat bronchitis.

1. Actively control infection: In the acute phase, follow the doctor's advice and choose effective antibacterial drugs for treatment.

Commonly used drugs include: compound sulfa formaldehyde isoxazole, strong toxin, erythromycin, penicillin, etc. When treatment is ineffective, drugs that the patient has not used or has used rarely can also be used, such as midecamycin, spiramycin, and ceftriaxone. After the acute infection is controlled, stop using antibiotics promptly to avoid side effects caused by long-term use.

2. Promote expectoration: Patients in the acute phase should use antitussive and expectorant drugs while using antibacterial drugs.

For elderly and weak patients who are unable to cough up sputum or patients with a large amount of sputum, expectoration should be the main treatment, and strong antitussive drugs should not be used to avoid inhibiting the central nervous system and aggravating respiratory inflammation, leading to worsening of the condition. Helping critically ill patients change their body positions regularly and gently massaging their chest and back can promote the discharge of phlegm.

3. Maintain good home environment hygiene, keep the indoor air fresh and with a certain humidity, control and eliminate all kinds of harmful gases and smoke, quit the habit of smoking, and keep warm.

Tracheitis is a common respiratory disease. It is a chronic disease and it is difficult to cure it completely. Therefore, patients with bronchitis generally need to undergo professional treatment so that the tracheitis will not worsen. For people with tracheitis, they also need to pay attention to their lifestyle and diet.
