Question
My baby has started to cough a little and the doctor says it’s tracheitis. What should I do?
Answer
Tracheitis is an acute inflammation of the respiratory mucosa, usually caused by viral or bacterial infection, but may also be due to physical, chemical irritation, or allergic reactions. It often occurs secondary to an acute upper respiratory infection, and in the early stages, it may be accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, chills, sore throat, and hoarseness. It is recommended to use drugs such as azithromycin or urgent tracheal syrup, cough must clear, etc., for treatment, and it is suggested to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. Wishing your child a quick recovery.
