What is bronchial tuberculosis

  Bronchial tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that can be transmitted through the respiratory tract. The symptoms of the disease are similar to those of other respiratory diseases, making it easy to misdiagnose and delay treatment.  The main symptom is a paroxysmal dry cough with a strong cough and more or less sputum, while some patients develop yellow purulent sputum secondary to bacterial infection. Due to congestion of the bronchial mucosa and dilatation of capillaries, patients with bronchial tuberculosis may have blood in their sputum, especially when they cough vigorously and to varying degrees. Patients often feel a foreign body in the trachea and have a burning sensation or pressure in the sternum. Bronchial tuberculosis can lead to bronchial stenosis, and if the patient’s sputum is sticky, dyspnea may occur, and medications are usually used to relieve the symptoms of dyspnea by dissolving the sputum and diaphragmizing the airways. Due to tracheal mucous membrane edema or phlegm blocking the trachea, patients may have obvious croup, which can disappear after the phlegm is coughed out.  If the above symptoms appear, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. If you miss the best time for treatment, it will lead to serious consequences, causing physical harm and making it extremely difficult to treat.
