A collapsed trachea is formed as a result of defect in the cartilage, that makes the cartilage unable to support the trachea and results in dry hacking cough. In this condition there can be inflammation of the linings of the trachea. If the connective nerve tissues in the trachea degenerate it causes tracheomalacia.
Tracheobronchitis is often a hospital-acquired infection, particularly in an intensive care setting, associated with the use of mechanical ventilators, and the need for inserting a tracheal tube. In these cases it is known as ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis. The infection begins in the trachea where it colonises and spreads to the bronchi.

With collapsing trachea, coughing becomes such a chronic condition that we try to manage it, but it rarely just goes away completely.
This typically clears particles from the bronchi and trachea, the tubes that feed air to lung tissue from the nose and mouth. [1] The larynx (voice box) and carina (at the bottom of the trachea, as it splits into bronchi) are especially sensitive. Cough receptors in the surface cells of the respiratory tract are also sensitive to chemicals.
Someone who has worsening cough, persistent high fevers and other concerning symptoms like chest pain, abdominal pain and trouble catching their breath needs to seek medical care to treat these ...
Croup (/ k r uː p / KROOP), also known as croupy cough, is a type of respiratory infection that is usually caused by a virus. [2] The infection leads to swelling inside the trachea , which interferes with normal breathing and produces the classic symptoms of "barking/brassy" cough , inspiratory stridor and a hoarse voice . [ 2 ]
The most common tracheal injury is a tear near the carina or in the membranous wall of the trachea. [15] In blunt chest trauma, TBI occurs within 2.5 cm of the carina 40–80% of the time. [ 2 ] The injury is more common in the right main bronchus than the left, possibly because the former is near vertebrae , which may injure it. [ 2 ]
