Inflammation of Airways

The lungs may be inflamed due to irritants including air pollution, allergies, infection and cigarette smoke. It can lead to asthma.

Pleurisy - Inflammation of the lining of the lungs

The main symptom of plesurisy is sharp chest pain that gets worse with breathing or movement. When you have pleurisy, the normally smooth lining of the lung becomes rough. When you take a breath, the lining rubs against each other, causing irritation and pain. It causes a rough grating sound called a 'friction rub.' In this condition, the lungs may fill up with fluid and cause breathing difficulties. The most common cause is infection, but allergies and irritants may be suspected as well. Lungs may be inflamed by exposure to a contact allergen, or when a change of seasons causes additional exposure to indoor / outdoor air.
