The trachea feels uncomfortable as if it is compressed?

The trachea feels uncomfortable and as if it is being compressed. This situation is generally caused by bronchitis, and it may also be caused by pharyngitis. In fact, no matter what the cause is, it must be actively treated and taken seriously to avoid worsening of the condition and increase the difficulty of treatment. There are many causes of bronchitis. During treatment, it is best to identify the cause.

What are the preventive measures for bronchitis?

1. Promote expectoration. Coughing and expectoration are the main symptoms of this disease. Therefore, preventive measures for bronchitis include inhibiting the production of sputum, maintaining unobstructed breathing, controlling and eliminating various harmful gases and smoke, quitting the habit of smoking, ensuring fresh circulation of surrounding air, and maintaining good home environment hygiene. If the patient has bronchitis, you should also help him massage his chest and back to promote the discharge of phlegm.

2. Actively control infection and take preventive measures against bronchitis. First, avoid contact with sources of infection, such as people with colds and public places with high population mobility. If you accidentally get infected, you should seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice to choose effective medications for treatment. After the condition is under control, you should stop taking the medication in time to avoid side effects.

3. Good living habits. Pay more attention to exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, improve your body's immunity, insist on washing your face and hands with cold water, and massage the soles of your feet and hands frequently to improve your body's resistance to cold. Patients can also enhance their lung function by exercising abdominal breathing or pursed lip breathing, and pay attention to keeping warm, especially keeping your neck warm. In terms of diet, eat more lung-moisturizing foods and less spicy, irritating and fried foods.

4. Prevent passive smoking and prohibit pregnant women from smoking. Smoking falls into the category of indoor environmental pollution. Pregnant women who smoke will increase the risk of their future children suffering from chronic bronchitis. For children, if two or one of their parents smokes, the risk of their children suffering from allergic bronchitis will also increase. This is more prominent in children with atopic constitution. What are some good ways to prevent bronchitis? Parents should try not to smoke, as it harms their children's health.

5. Pay attention to keeping the outdoor environment away from pollution. The level of nitric oxide in the atmosphere has increased over the past 10 years. Although nitric oxide itself does not directly increase the incidence of allergic bronchitis, its damage to the respiratory epithelium can make it easier for other antigens to enter the deep respiratory tract and the lungs.

6. Reduce contact with house dust mites. Infants and young children have the closest relationship with the indoor environment. They have to stay indoors for a long time due to the airtightness of modern buildings. New building materials and the renewal of indoor furniture will expose infants and young children to allergens and chemical irritants in the indoor environment for a long time.

7. Strengthen physical exercise, improve physical fitness, improve respiratory resistance, prevent respiratory tract infections, and avoid inhalation of harmful substances and allergens to prevent or reduce the occurrence of this disease.

8. During climate change and cold seasons, pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time to avoid catching a cold and prevent influenza. Pay attention to changes in the condition and understand the patterns of the disease so that you can take measures in advance. If the patient has difficulty breathing, purple lips and nails, edema of the lower limbs, confusion, and drowsiness, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
