Symptoms of Catarrh and the Different Types of Catarrh

There are different types of catarrh, but all share some common symptoms. The most common type is sinus catarrh, which causes an increase in congestion and mucous production.

Other symptoms may include a sore throat, chest pain, fever, headaches or fatigue. Some less common types of catarrh involve the lungs (pneumonia), the nose and throat (croup), or various parts of the intestinal tract (enteritis).

1. Sinus Catarrh

This is the most common type of catarrh and is caused by congestion within the sinuses. Symptoms include an increase in mucous production, a sore throat, chest pain, fever and headaches or fatigue.

Treatment involves using over-the-counter medication to relieve symptoms and breathing exercises to decrease congestion. If this does not work, antibiotics may be prescribed to treat any bacterial infection that may be causing the catarrh.

 2. Pneumonia

This is a serious type of catarrh that can cause lung infection. Symptoms may include chest pain, fever, coughing and difficulty breathing.

If pneumonia is not treated quickly, it can lead to death. Treatment involves antibiotics and respiratory therapy to help the patient breathe easier.

3. Croup

This is a rare type of catarrh that affects the airways in the nose and throat area. It often starts with cold symptoms (such as frostbite), followed by hoarseness, cough and bronchitis-like symptoms six to eight days later.
