Is tracheitis contagious?

Many people are asking if tracheitis is contagious? First, let us understand tracheitis. It is mainly caused by infection, which causes changes in the trachea and bronchi, which can easily lead to excessive secretion of mucus in the trachea, thus causing coughing, wheezing and other symptoms. Therefore, tracheitis must be treated promptly, otherwise complications may occur.

Is tracheitis contagious? In fact, tracheitis is not a contagious disease, so you don’t need to worry about its contagiousness. However, we must remind everyone that if you have early symptoms of bronchitis, you must seek timely treatment, otherwise it will be detrimental to your health. Tracheitis can be treated with anti-infective, expectorant and bronchodilator drugs.

The main symptoms of bronchitis are as follows:

During the acute attack of chronic bronchitis, the main symptoms are cough, sputum, wheezing, spasm, etc. The treatment during this period is mainly targeted at the symptoms of the disease. First, appropriate amounts of antibiotics can be used to effectively relieve and control the condition. If the patient's condition is more serious, antibiotics should also be injected to relieve the symptoms. After the condition is effectively controlled, relevant drugs are used for expectoration and cough suppression. These are all symptoms of bronchitis.

The treatment methods used in the chronic migration stage and the acute attack stage are generally the same, both of which focus on controlling infection, expectorating, and suppressing cough. During this period, patients may also experience wheezing symptoms. At this time, patients should be given appropriate amounts of anti-asthmatic drugs to relieve the condition. If necessary, patients can also receive aerosol therapy.

Medically proven, negative air ions have obvious effects on the treatment of bronchitis. Negative air ions mainly work through inhalation through the respiratory tract and have a significant impact on the physiological functions of the respiratory system. In the process of ionizing air, oxygen atoms easily gain electrons and produce a large number of negative oxygen ions. The ciliary movement of the tracheal mucosal epithelium is enhanced by negative ions and weakened by positive ions. Negative ions can affect the activity of respiratory enzymes in the epithelial villi and enhance the oxidation of free 5-hydroxytryptamine. Carbon dioxide and negative ions can increase the content of free 5-hydroxytryptamine and destroy the function of the mucosa. Inhalation of negative ions can improve the secretory function of the alveoli and the ventilation and gas exchange function of the lungs, and increase the respiratory coefficient (absorption of O2 increases by 20%, and discharge of CO2 increases by 14.5%). Negative ions can strengthen the cilia movement of the tracheal mucosal epithelium, increase glandular secretion, relieve bronchospasm, increase lung capacity, adjust respiratory rate, and suppress cough.

Now we understand that tracheitis is not contagious and it is not a very serious disease. At the same time, it is a preventable disease. For example, colds can easily lead to bronchitis, so we must prevent colds in our daily lives, especially in winter. We must keep warm, exercise more, and ensure that the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor areas is not too large.
