tracheitis

Inflammation and infection of the trachea. Inhaled irritants can injure the tracheal lining and increase the chance of infection (bacterial or viral). Acute infections, usually bacterial, produce fever, fatigue, and swelling of the tracheal lining but generally do no great damage. Chronic infections, promoted by irritants such as heavy smoking and alcohol abuse, cause progressive tissue degeneration and scarring.

Tracheitis

an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the trachea. It often accompanies inflammations of the upper respiratory tract caused by infections or toxins. The principal symptom of tracheitis is a cough that intensifies in the morning. Tracheitis is treated by inhaling aerosols; chronic tracheitis is treated by climatotherapy.
