Tracheosis

Tracheosis is an infection of the trachea, or windpipe, which is the tube that connects the nose and mouth to the lungs. It is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, and it can lead to a variety of respiratory issues. Symptoms of tracheosis include difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, and chest pain. In severe cases, tracheosis can lead to pneumonia or other serious respiratory illnesses. Treatment for tracheosis typically involves antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, or anti-parasitic medications, depending on the underlying cause of the infection. Surgery may also be necessary if the infection is severe or not responding to medication.
