Corrosion involving larynx and trachea with lung - what does this mean

Corrosion of the larynx and trachea with lung is a condition in which the airways become inflamed and irritated, leading to difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing. this is usually caused by exposure to irritants such as smoke, dust, or chemicals, or by a viral or bacterial infection. the inflammation can lead to narrowing of the airways, making it difficult to get enough oxygen into the lungs, which can cause shortness of breath and other symptoms.

What happens during the disease - corrosion involving larynx and trachea with lung

Corrosion involving the larynx and trachea with lung is caused by the inhalation of acidic or alkaline gases, fumes, or vapors, which cause direct damage to the mucous membranes of the airways. this damage can lead to inflammation, edema, and ulceration of the airway, resulting in difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing. if left untreated, the corrosion can progress to the lungs, leading to further inflammation, scarring, and further difficulty breathing.
