Corrosion of larynx and trachea - what does this mean
Corrosion of the larynx and trachea occurs when the delicate tissues of the upper airway become inflamed and irritated due to exposure to a variety of different substances, such as smoke, chemical fumes, and pollutants. the irritation and inflammation leads to the breakdown of the protective mucosal layer, which can lead to further damage and erosion of the larynx and trachea.
What happens during the disease - corrosion of larynx and trachea
Corrosion of the larynx and trachea is caused by the inhalation of irritants such as smoke, dust, and fumes, which can cause inflammation and damage to the mucous membranes of the airways. this can lead to narrowing of the airways, increased mucus production, and ultimately, erosion of the tissues of the larynx and trachea. this can cause difficulty breathing, coughing, and hoarseness.
