Two main types of wheezing can be distinguished - these are dry and wet. With a more detailed classification, large-bubble, medium-bubble, and small-bubble are distinguished. They differ in the type of noise emitted during breathing. In any case, wheezing during inhalation or exhalation always signals the presence of a more serious disease, even if no other patient discomfort bothers. Treatment must begin after a comprehensive examination. Wheezing in the lungs when breathing is especially clearly heard when inhaling. By sound, a good diagnostician will be able to determine how serious the damage to the lungs is, whether they are filled with fluid or mucus. If wheezing is dry, the cause may be an internal swelling or swelling. However, listening to the lungs alone is not enough, the doctor must also conduct other tests, after which you can begin treatment.
