Question 3: Why do you cough badly at night? Cough is a reflex defensive behavior of respiratory self-protection. A complete cough action needs several links. First, inhale, then close the glottis, and the intercostal muscle and diaphragm contract forcibly, resulting in intrapulmonary pressure of about 40Kpa. Then the diaphragm contracts rapidly and forcefully, and at the same time, the glottis suddenly opens, and the air in the lungs rushes out of the respiratory tract, ejecting secretions or foreign bodies attached to the respiratory mucosa, and finally forming a cough action. These complex and coordinated movements are caused by impulses generated by nerve endings receptors. These receptors excite the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata through afferent nerves, and then the respiratory center generates impulses, which act on intercostal muscles, diaphragm and glottis through efferent nerves, resulting in cough and expectoration. The impulse of the receptor mainly enters the cough center and the excitement of the cough center through the vagus nerve. During the day, the excitability of vagus nerve is relatively low, so we feel that coughing during the day is often not very serious. After sleeping at night, vagus nerve excitability increases and bronchial smooth muscle contracts, which reduces bronchial lumen deformation and increases respiratory sensitivity. Coupled with the * * * effect of respiratory secretions, cough will become more severe and frequent, which is the reason for severe cough at night. Cough badly at night, first of all, keep the bedroom air moist and not dry. When you have a bad cough when you sleep at night, you can take a gulp of cold boiled water to relieve the cough. To find the cause of cough, symptomatic treatment.
