After a cold cough is not “trivial”
By admin • Nov 13th, 2008 • Category: DiseaseMany of my friends may have experienced this: a cold cured after a fall from time to time coughing problems, it is to eat a lot of medicine, cough can not always good. Buyu the protracted post-cold cough can be plagued with so many friends.
In that case, persistent cough after a cold Buyu in which the reasons for it?
1. Abuse of antibiotics
Many people coughing on the understanding there is a misunderstanding, that cough is a bacterial infection sure, they eat anti-inflammatory drugs, with an expansion or change the amount and types of antibiotics, cough seen eating a turn for the better, then for the more advanced. According to the author found in drug stores, almost on a daily basis, many see as a result of constant coughing from a cold after the purchase of medicines on their own, many of which will come within a week or so to pharmacies to buy the other phlegm cough medicine And antibiotics because they are about to buy the last of the drugs to no avail. According to doctors, a lot of coughing patients to the hospital, they had about “unauthorized” use of the experience, as it did not improve and look at the doctor. In fact, patients with self-medication, especially antibiotics, cough not only useless, but also easily lead to abuse of antibiotics, so on dysbacteriosis cause side effects in the body.
2. Cough that only “a minor”
After a cold cough are often characterized by symptoms: coughing occasionally accompanied by itching the throat. This cough of patients with work and life will not lead to any significant impact, many patients do not pay enough attention, that this is only “a minor”, the treatment can not cure it slowly. What is more, smoking and drinking as usual, the popular hot drink, and not pay attention to the details of life, eventually making continuous throat irritation, leading to persistent cough or Buyu increase.
3. Diagnosed uncertainty
Often only after a cold cough pharyngeal itching, coughing performance, no other symptoms, the patient visits, doctors generally have little breathing abnormalities, blood and X-ray, also mostly normal. Often diagnosed as “chronic bronchitis,” and “bronchitis”, “pharyngitis”. As a result, the treatment of patients with still or anti-infective, bronchial expansion, or cough with phlegm of a number of proprietary Chinese medicines, but the effect is often not so obvious. But also the possible misuse of antibiotics.
After a cold cough is “a minor”?
For example, a cough caused by hoarse voice, the expression of the difficulties caused by the exchange; work when all of a sudden and severe coughing, other people’s work, to talk about all of a sudden, when customers will lead to severe coughing to discuss the embarrassment; home from time to time, the cough will affect the rest of the family; At the same time, the night-time cough can lead to their own lack of sleep, and cause irritability, tension, anxiety, guilt, anxiety, and so the bad feelings. Severe coughing, resulting in bronchospasm, dyspnea in patients with breathing difficulties, long-term cough, chest pain caused to restrict breathing; some women even when complicated by severe coughing incontinence, which is a very painful thing; at the same time, repeated coughing Can also be complicated by infection, and for the development of chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary emphysema and pulmonary heart disease and so on. Have high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, rheumatic heart patients may also cause heart disease recurrence. This shows that both the patients cough, or on his side, will cause a lot of influence. After the decision of a cold cough can not be!
How are we going to deal with the post-cold cough?
