The respiratory system plays a crucial role in ensuring the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. Respiratory disorders can affect the nose, throat, airways, and lungs, leading to a range of symptoms that impact breathing and overall well-being. Understanding and managing respiratory disorders are essential for maintaining a healthy and active life.
- Asthma (अस्थमा):
- Asthma is a chronic condition characterized by inflammation of the airways, causing episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. It can be triggered by various factors, including allergens, exercise, and respiratory infections.
- Bronchitis (श्वसनीशोथ):
- Bronchitis is the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to the lungs. Acute bronchitis is often caused by viral infections and results in coughing, chest discomfort, and mucus production. Chronic bronchitis, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a long-term condition associated with persistent cough and difficulty breathing.
- Sinusitis (साइनोसाइटिस):
- Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses, which are hollow cavities in the skull. This condition can cause nasal congestion, facial pain, headaches, and a feeling of pressure in the face. Sinusitis may be acute or chronic and can result from infections, allergies, or structural issues.
- Rhinitis / Allergies (एलर्जिक राइनाइटिस):
- Rhinitis involves inflammation of the nasal passages, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, and congestion. Allergic rhinitis is often triggered by exposure to allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.
- Fever (ज्वर):
- Fever is not a specific respiratory disorder but is often a symptom of various respiratory infections. Elevated body temperature is the body’s response to infections, and it plays a role in the immune response. Fevers can accompany conditions like flu, pneumonia, or bronchitis.
