Chronic tracheitis symptoms?

Some patients with chronic bronchitis had a history of acute respiratory tract infection such as acute bronchitis, influenza or pneumonia before onset. Patients often develop in the cold season, cough and expectoration, especially in morning rising. The sputum is white mucous and foam, and it is hard to cough up. In the case of acute respiratory infection, the symptoms increase rapidly. Sputum volume increased, viscosity increased or yellow purulent, occasionally with blood in the sputum.

Simple type of chronic bronchitis, X-ray examination positive, or only two lower lung texture thickening, or cord like, this is the sign of bronchial wall fibrous tissue hyperplasia thickening. * if combined with bronchotis, there may be spots and shadows overlapping. On the upper part of the bronchi, the bronchial deformable bronchogram can be seen. Some are narrow, some are columnar dilatation, others are truncated because of retention of sputum. Because of the contraction of the surrounding scar tissue, the bronchi can be gathered together in bundles. Sometimes there is a small diverticulum in the bronchial wall, which is the manifestation of dilation of the opening of mucous glands.

Bronchiectasis: repeated attacks of chronic bronchitis, congestion and edema of bronchial mucosa, formation of ulcers, proliferation of fibrous tissue on the wall, more or less deformation, expansion or stenosis of the lumen. Most of the expanded parts showed columnar changes. Bronchiectasis after pertussis, measles or pneumonia is usually columnar or cystic, and is more serious than that caused by chronic bronchitis.

matters needing attention

Heart disease: cough caused by blood stasis in the lung, often dry cough, not much sputum. Detailed history can find palpitations, shortness of breath, lower limb edema and other signs of heart disease. Physical signs, X-ray and electrocardiographic examination are helpful in the differential diagnosis.
