What Is Tracheitis?

10. Prevention
Because tracheitis most often occurs after a previous infection, keeping children up-to-date on their vaccinations is an important means of prevention. Hib meningitis, measles, and influenza are all serious illnesses that can be prevented. Vaccines are especially important for immunocompromised children.
People can prevent the respiratory infections that lead to tracheitis by maintaining good hygiene. Teaching children to wash their hands properly is an effective way to keep them healthy. When water is not available, hand sanitizer is a good alternative.
