What is trachea - #18094

A few weeks ago, I started feeling this weird pressure in my throat. It wasn’t exactly painful, but it felt like something was stuck there. At first, I thought it was just dryness, so I drank more water. But the feeling didn’t go away. It even got a little worse when I took deep breaths. I started Googling, and that’s when I came across something called the trachea. I never even knew it existed before, but now I can’t stop thinking about it. What is trachea, exactly?? I read that the trachea is some kind of tube that connects the throat to the lungs, but I’m still confused. What is trachea made of?? Is it just a hollow tube, or does it have muscles and nerves?? If something feels off in my throat, does it mean there’s something wrong with my trachea?? Now, here’s the thing—I had a really bad cough last month. It lasted almost two weeks, and my throat was sore from all the coughing. After that, I noticed this tightness in my throat. Could excessive coughing have irritated my trachea?? I never thought coughing could do that, but now I’m wondering if I damaged something. Is it possible for the trachea to get inflamed or swollen?? Another thing—I have this habit of drinking really cold water, especially before bed. I’ve heard mixed opinions about it. Some people say it’s bad for the throat, while others say it doesn’t matter. Could drinking cold water affect my trachea?? I also tend to breathe through my mouth when I sleep, which sometimes makes my throat feel dry in the morning. Could that be irritating my trachea too?? I’m also curious about how to take care of the trachea. Since I only recently learned about it, I have no idea what’s good or bad for it. Are there any Ayurvedic remedies to keep the trachea healthy?? I’ve heard turmeric milk is good for throat health, but does it help the trachea specifically?? What about herbal teas?? I know ginger and honey are supposed to be soothing, but do they actually heal the trachea if it’s irritated?? One more thing—I sometimes feel a slight discomfort when I take a deep breath. It’s not sharp pain, just a strange sensation. Could this be related to my trachea?? I don’t have trouble breathing or anything, but it still worries me. Is it possible that my trachea is inflamed, or is this just normal?? I would really appreciate any insights from Ayurvedic doctors or anyone who knows more about what is trachea and how to keep it healthy naturally. Also, if anyone has experienced something similar, I’d love to hear what worked for you.
