1, autumn dryness hurts the lungs.
Chinese medicine believes that autumn corresponds to the lungs of the human body. After entering autumn, the weather becomes very dry, and the lungs like humid environment. Therefore, seasonal damage is inevitable. At the same time, because of excessive sweating in summer, the human body's vitality is damaged and the lungs become particularly weak. So when it is dry in autumn, it will cause cough and throat discomfort. Lung injury will not only lead to dry and itchy throat, tightness and foreign body sensation, but also lead to dry peeling and sores on our skin and face.
2, seasonal allergies
Allergy is a very headache. Food, pollen, air, drugs and other reasons can cause allergies. In autumn, flowers and plants are lush and the wind is strong, so there are more allergens in the air. When allergens invade the human body, there will be symptoms such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, such as sneezing, runny nose and repeated coughing.
3. Frequent colds in autumn
There is also a common disease in autumn-a cold. In autumn, the climate begins to get cold, especially the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, which is easy to cause a cold because of catching cold. The symptoms of colds in autumn are mostly dry throat, sore throat, cough, fever, and even lung infection and even asthma in severe cases. Children, the elderly and patients with respiratory diseases must keep warm in autumn to prevent colds from causing other discomfort.
Cough itself is not a disease, it is only a protective reflex of the body, and the purpose of cough is to eliminate secretions and foreign bodies in the respiratory tract and ensure the unobstructed respiratory tract. There are many and complicated reasons for coughing, but generally speaking, if you stay away from the external environment that causes irritation, your cough symptoms will be alleviated. If you cough for a long time, accompanied by chest pain, excessive phlegm and asthma, you should pay attention to the following three diseases.
1, variant asthma
Variant asthma, CAV for short, is often ignored because of "wearing cough clothes" Although this asthma is a kind of asthma, its most common and well-known symptom is chronic cough, and it is also a dry cough. Cough caused by variant asthma mostly occurs at night or in the early morning. Cold, dust, lampblack and cold air stimulation may induce and lead to its appearance, and patients with long illness may even have symptoms such as difficulty breathing. In addition, life stress and endocrine disorders can also lead to variant asthma.
2. Tuberculosis and lung cancer
Tuberculosis, pneumonia, bronchitis and lung cancer can all cause cough. But from the cough symptoms alone, these diseases can not be well distinguished. Tuberculosis is caused by infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Generally speaking, in addition to coughing, patients will also be accompanied by low fever, fatigue and chest pain. In addition, if the patient's cough does not improve for a long time, and there is blood in the cough, fever, emaciation and hoarseness, we should be careful of the possibility of lung cancer, and we must go to a regular hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the illness.
3. Gastroesophageal reflux
Gastroesophageal reflux is a very uncomfortable disease, which not only causes heartburn, acid reflux, burping, dysphagia and other symptoms, but also affects the mouth, nose, throat and airway, leading to asthma, chronic cough, pharyngolaryngitis and periodontal disease. Gastroesophageal reflux not only affects the quality of life, but also seriously endangers life.
There are many reasons for coughing. On the contrary, severe cough can also cause vomiting, fainting, fractures and other complications. Especially in this special environment, repeated coughing and long-term treatment will increase the psychological burden and even alienate you. Therefore, it is extremely important to do a good job in nursing. Cough for a long time is not good, how to recuperate? Divided into three aspects:
1. In terms of environment, we must pay attention to choosing and creating a humid environment. Outdoor activities should be as far away from dry and noisy environments as possible. Wear a mask for protection when traveling, while avoiding cold air stimulation. And indoors, you can use a humidifier to keep the indoor air humidity, reduce dust stimulation, and pay attention to open the window frequently to ensure air quality.
2. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to eating more fruits, vegetables and tea substitutes that clear away heat and moisten dryness, relieve cough and eliminate phlegm, reduce the stimulation of spicy, too sweet and sour food, prevent the trachea, respiratory tract and lungs from being stimulated, and aggravate cough symptoms.
3, autumn cough is "difficult" and must be paid attention to as soon as possible. In addition to keeping the lungs healthy, we should add clothes in time to prevent colds and take protective measures to prevent allergies. In addition, we should also pay attention to strengthening physical exercise, enhancing physical resistance and staying away from the "fragile" sub-health state. Of course, if you cough repeatedly, you still have to go to a regular hospital for examination, and first rule out the possibility of major diseases.
