Warning Signs Of Bacterial Tracheitis

Wheezing

Wheezing is a symptom that can be attributed to various conditions, like bronchitis, asthma, allergies, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, it can also be present if the child is suffering from bacterial tracheitis. The condition is described as being a high-pitched whistling sound and it happens when the child breaths and can occur upon inhalation or exhalation. Wheezing generally means the lungs are struggling to move air in and out and it may result in the need for medication or oxygen. The child may be given breathing treatments that have medicine in it to help quell the lungs and make it easier to breathe by reducing inflammation causing a narrowing of the airway. This symptom should be viewed in conjunction with other symptoms to determine the cause of the distress and make the correct diagnosis.
