[Tracheal Sensitivity] Traditional Chinese Medicine explains the methods to stop coughing due to tracheal sensitivity, its causes, characteristics, and solutions.
Release time:

Tracheal sensitivity refers to the condition where the trachea overreacts to various stimuli, such as allergens, smoke, cold air, or exercise. This sensitive reaction can lead to airway constriction, inflammation, and increased mucus secretion, ultimately resulting in symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
What is bronchial sensitivity?
Bronchial sensitivity refers to the condition where the bronchial tubes overreact to various stimuli, such as allergens, smoke, cold air, or exercise. This sensitive reaction can lead to airway constriction, inflammation, and increased mucus secretion, ultimately causing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Bronchial sensitivity is common in asthma patients, but other respiratory diseases may also accompany bronchial sensitivity. It is sometimes referred to as reactive airway disease, a term widely used to describe situations where the airways exhibit excessive reactions to various external stimuli, including typical asthma symptoms and other allergic reactions triggered by environmental factors.
Causes of bronchial sensitivity
The causes of bronchial sensitivity can be divided into internal and external factors. Internal factors mainly include individual genetic factors and abnormalities in the immune system, while external factors refer to various environmental factors such as allergens, weather changes, and viral infections. The primary cause of bronchial sensitivity is the individual's sensitivity to various allergens in the environment, leading to increased reactivity of the bronchial tubes. Common allergens include pet hair, dust and dust mites, pollen, and mold. Additionally, weather changes are also a common cause; for example, rapid climate changes, cold or humid weather can cause some individuals' bronchial tubes to overreact. Furthermore, respiratory infections caused by viruses or bacteria can also lead to inflammation of the bronchial walls, further exacerbating sensitivity.
Symptoms of bronchial sensitivity
The main symptoms of bronchial sensitivity include wheezing, which is characterized by a sharp or whistling sound from the air expelled from the lungs, usually worsening with difficulty breathing. The cough is typically dry, especially more likely to occur at night or after exercise. Additionally, contact with irritants may cause the throat to feel red, dry, or sore, further aggravating the cough symptoms. Moreover, many patients may experience chest discomfort or pressure during episodes of bronchial sensitivity, which may be related to airway narrowing; this discomfort can sometimes lead to feelings of anxiety or unease. In terms of duration, mild bronchial sensitivity symptoms may last only a few minutes to a few hours, while more severe episodes may last for days or even longer. As bronchial sensitivity increases, symptoms may occur more frequently, negatively impacting the patient's quality of life in daily activities.
How to diagnose bronchial sensitivity
Bronchial sensitivity is a respiratory system issue, and accurate diagnosis is key to formulating an effective treatment plan. Doctors will conduct a detailed medical history inquiry and physical examination, asking about the timing, frequency, triggers of symptoms, and family allergy history, followed by auscultation to check if the breath sounds are normal and to understand the airway condition. Pulmonary function tests are one of the important tools for diagnosing bronchial sensitivity; by measuring indicators such as lung capacity and expiratory flow rate, the function of the respiratory system can be assessed. If bronchial sensitivity is suspected to be related to allergies, doctors may recommend allergen testing, including skin prick tests and blood tests.

If bronchial sensitivity is suspected to be related to allergies, doctors may recommend allergen testing, including skin prick tests and blood tests.
Bronchial sensitivity needs to be differentiated from other respiratory diseases. Asthma is a chronic airway disease that overlaps with bronchial sensitivity. Patients often present with wheezing, chest tightness, and coughing, especially at night and in the morning. Therefore, pulmonary function tests and detailed analysis of medical history are crucial for distinguishing the two. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease, often caused by smoking. Patients with bronchial sensitivity may develop COPD under genetic or environmental factors, thus requiring pulmonary function tests for differentiation. Additionally, during upper respiratory infections, the patient's airway condition may change, exhibiting symptoms similar to bronchial sensitivity, necessitating careful consideration of the patient's medical history and other systemic symptoms for accurate judgment.
Methods to alleviate bronchial sensitivity symptoms
Modern medical treatment for bronchial sensitivity mainly includes antihistamines and bronchodilators. Traditional Chinese medicine may use acupressure to help alleviate bronchial sensitivity symptoms and improve breathing. Common acupoints include Yingxiang point, located on both sides of the nostrils, suitable for addressing bronchial sensitivity caused by allergic rhinitis; gentle pressure can promote blood circulation in the nasal area and alleviate symptoms. Dazhui point, located at the junction of the seventh cervical vertebra and the first thoracic vertebra, helps relieve throat discomfort and improve breathing. In daily life, one can try adding honey to warm water or consuming it alone to alleviate cough and throat sensitivity, or use peppermint oil to massage the front neck area to help open the airways and relieve breathing difficulties. Additionally, regularly cleaning the home environment and removing dust-collecting items such as plush toys and carpets can reduce the accumulation of allergens.
How to prevent bronchial sensitivity
Bronchial sensitivity issues are quite common in today's society, but by adopting some preventive strategies in daily life, one can maintain a healthy respiratory system. First, maintain a healthy immune system by ensuring 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night; good rest promotes the normal functioning of the immune system. Regular moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, swimming, or yoga, can enhance the body's immune capacity. Additionally, avoid allergens by using high-efficiency air purifiers at home to filter out small allergens in the air, such as pollen, mold, and pet dander. In terms of diet, supplementing with foods rich in omega-3, such as fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, can reduce inflammatory responses and is crucial for respiratory health.
Common questions about bronchial sensitivity
Although bronchial sensitivity does not necessarily evolve into asthma, patients with bronchial sensitivity who do not receive timely treatment or control of their symptoms may experience worsening airway inflammation over time, ultimately leading to asthma. Currently, treatment for bronchial sensitivity includes the use of antihistamines, bronchodilators, and inhaled corticosteroids; the effectiveness of these medications varies depending on the patient's specific situation, with some patients experiencing significant symptom reduction and improved quality of life after using appropriate medications. However, bronchial sensitivity is a recurrent condition, especially in the presence of triggers such as cold weather, allergen exposure, or infections; therefore, establishing an effective management plan is key to reducing recurrences.
