Burn and corrosion of respiratory tract - what does this mean

Burn and corrosion of the respiratory tract is caused by inhalation of harmful substances such as toxic gases, fumes, smoke, or dust particles. these substances can damage the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, leading to inflammation, irritation, and even ulceration. in severe cases, it can also lead to scarring and permanent damage to the respiratory system.

What happens during the disease - burn and corrosion of respiratory tract

Burn and corrosion of the respiratory tract occurs when the mucosal lining of the airways is damaged due to exposure to harsh chemicals, smoke, or other irritants. this damage causes inflammation of the airways, leading to increased mucus production, airway narrowing, and difficulty breathing. in some cases, the damage can be severe enough to cause scarring and permanent damage to the airways.
