SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TREATMENT OF ACUTE OBSTRUCTIVE BRONCHITIS IN CHILDREN OF EARLY AGE

Obstructive, in this case, there is a blockage (obstruction) of the lumen of the bronchi with a large amount of mucus and sputum. Blockage of the bronchi is dangerous for the development of respiratory failure and oxygen starvation, which is especially dangerous in young children. The inflammatory process can spread from the trachea to the bronchus. In this case, they talk about tracheobronchitis. Inflammation can also spread from the bronchus to the lungs and contribute to the development of bronchopneumonia.
