What you need to know about coughing

Cough is a special reaction of the body to any irritant of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. But coughing is also possible with changes in human lung tissue.

So what causes the cough? The most common cause of coughing is too much gas in the air we breathe. Some people have coughing more often. This is due to the individual characteristics of the body, when the mucous membranes of the trachea and larynx are more susceptible to irritation.

The cause of the cough may also be a foreign body that has entered the respiratory tract. Very often, pieces of food become such foreign objects. Cough in such cases is caused by a protective reaction of the body. The fact is that when coughing, the body increases the tone of the respiratory muscles, which helps to expel a foreign body from the respiratory tract.

Acute respiratory diseases occupy a leading position in the occurrence of cough. The accompanying symptoms here will be a runny nose and fever, hoarseness and weakness. Now in pharmacies you can find syrups, tablets, lozenges and aerosols that eliminate cough. Concomitant symptoms are treated mainly with proven drugs: paracetamol, codeine and others. In some cases, the use of antibiotics becomes quite justified.

To make a diagnosis, doctors pay special attention to the nature of the cough. If the cough is paroxysmal, then it is likely that such a disease as acute bronchitis, which may accompany flu-like conditions, be whooping cough, measles component or be an independent disease. In all these cases, the cause of cough is difficult to separate sputum. Expectorant drugs are used in the treatment of such a cough.

Croup pneumonia, which begins with the appearance of high fever, chills, shortness of breath and chest pain, cannot do without a paroxysmal cough. At the same time, the cough is dry. Only after a certain time does the sputum appear rusty in color. This shade is explained by the admixture of blood. Hospitalization is strictly necessary.

Influenza pneumonia is also characterized by the presence of a paroxysmal cough. In such cases, sputum is separated, but together with pus. As a rule, influenza pneumonia occurs in cases of influenza and begins with a sharp deterioration in the course of the disease. This happens approximately on the sixth day after the first signs of the flu appear. The patient's cough is noticeably worse, shortness of breath and chest pain appear. The most important thing in such cases is an X-ray examination, which will allow you to establish the correct diagnosis and prescribe a course of treatment.

A patient with a long-lasting paroxysmal cough with shortness of breath needs more in-depth studies, which are necessary for the timely diagnosis of bronchopneumonia. This disease requires mandatory schematic treatment with antibiotics. Treatment depends on the severity of the patient's condition and can be performed both outpatient and inpatient.

But coughing can also occur with much more serious diseases: tumors of the lungs or bronchi. As long-term medical practice shows, smokers who have suffered from bronchitis are highly likely to develop lung cancer. Seeking help follows after the appearance of sputum with scarlet blood. Such sputum is accompanied by hoarseness and chest pain. For an accurate diagnosis, an X-ray examination is necessary, and, if confirmed, the patient is hospitalized in the oncology department.

If the cough is accompanied by suffocation, and breathing is wheezing with a whistle, then most likely there is asthma, an attack of which begins with scratching and coughing. Such an attack is relieved with special inhalers: berotec or salbutamol.

The number of people suffering from tuberculosis is steadily growing in our country. This indicates the unfavorable social conditions in which the majority of our citizens find themselves. Infection with Koch's bacillus occurs when a person comes into contact with a tuberculosis patient in an open form. The cough in tuberculosis is dry, but sputum may also be present. In the morning, there is a slight cough, but then a debilitating cough begins. If tuberculosis is suspected, an X-ray is prescribed and blood and sputum are examined. Upon confirmation of the diagnosis, special anti-tuberculosis therapy is performed. バイナリーオプション はバイナリー オプション取引の最高のアシスタントです。私たちのウェブサイトでは、最高のプラットフォームとブローカーのレビュー、取引を成功させるための詳細な手順と戦略を見つけることができます。私たちは、あなたが経済的に成功し、トレーダーとして成功できるよう支援することに全力を尽くしています。自信を持ってバイナリー オプションの世界をナビゲートし、効果的に投資を増やすことができるようになります。お客様の最大限の成功のために、最新の情報と専門家のサポートを提供します。
