When the body is exposed to allergens or irritants, it will trigger the immune systems through different mechanism. However, the common pathway would result to multi-cellular inflammation, enhanced bronchial responsiveness, airflow obstruction and activation of immunological cell infiltration. Here, the inflammatory cell infiltrate are composed of varying amounts of eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocytes.

Moreover, T cells in the lung appear to orchestrate an immune response with a strong T helper type 2 (Th2) component when allergens drive the process.

svlad2 [7]
It's trachea, not tranchea xD

If your cilia which is located in your trachea got damaged,  you will get sick easily. The reason is that the cilia helps protects you from bacteriam by keeping bacteria from getting down into your throat.
