In this publication, we will try to talk about coughing as a protective reaction of the body, which arises and exacerbates certain irritants (dust, the smell of gas, substances causing allergies or various chemical reactions). Also cough acts as a protective-adaptive reaction, which reminds of itself during various inflammatory processes. Most often, cough is a signal that not only characterizes the diseases of the respiratory tract. It is the cough receptors that can transmit to our brain impulses from a huge number of organs of our body. This nasal cavity, stomach, heart, or rather its shell, and many others. In a word, cough can symbolize not only catarrhal diseases, but also such diseases of our body as gastritis or heart failure. Of course, to panic if cough acts as a protective reaction during high fever, a runny nose and sore throat is not needed at all. But in all other cases, you need to undergo a special examination to find out what is causing this reaction of the body. Therefore, do not once again risk your health. After all, timely treatment of any disease at its early stage is, first of all, the most basic protective function, directed against negative consequences and complications.
By the way, always remember that, acting as a reaction associated with protection, after a certain time, cough can find a negative side. This is usually due to the fact that all the mucus that appeared at the initial stage, in large numbers has in its composition proteins (immunoglobins and interferons). These proteins carry very harmful microorganisms. During a certain time, this mucus becomes thicker, which contributes to an increase in its chemical composition. Over time, these densities start to come out very hard, which causes them to stagnate. This is precisely the moment that is favorable for the emergence of microbes that cause various diseases in humans. In addition to all this, in time, the mucus that has not gone outside accumulates in the airways and blocks the flow of oxygen into the lungs, which affects the further progression of the cough.
Therefore, the main task before you should be the immediate disposal of this mucus. The best way to get it out is using drugs that can dilute these densities. From folk recipes, this can be done with the help of such natural ingredients as, for example, a milk formula. We take hot milk and add soda. Also, such recipes include a decoction of leaves of mother-and-stepmother, a warm dessert white wine, into which you can add natural honey and aloe juice and many other folk remedies. Also here you can include chemical agents (medicinal). With their selection, a significant emphasis should be placed only on those drugs that carry the properties of mucus from the lungs outward.
By the way, if the protective reaction of a cough has developed into a reverse one, you need to be cured of it. This can be done, not only using medicines, but also with the help of other additional means. These funds will help you effectively accelerate the process of fighting any type of cough.
1. Spend as much time as possible in the fresh air. For this, daily walks before going to bed are suitable.
2. Try to spend more time in the sunlight. It is the sun's rays that effectively kill bacteria and viruses.
3. Eat chicken broth.
4. Do not be in drafts. This can lead to undesirable complications.
5. Try to spend as much time as possible in peace and relaxation.
6. Try to stay where there is moist air. This will help to bring the phlegm out.
7. Perform special breathing exercises. Such sets of exercises that will help you defeat a cough should be recommended by your doctor.
And finally, say a few words that will help you in certain situations to recognize and overcome your cough. So, as we have already told you, cough, as a reaction to the protection of the body, can carry in itself both positive and, of course, negative sides. And this must always be taken into account.
Remember that if you cough for no reason, and your tests show that you are in perfect order, you need to know that in such a situation your cough is caused by a certain disorder of the nervous system. Most often, a cough can occur as a reaction to stress or a nervous shock. Often, for no reason cough is very nervous and excitable people. Also, cough is very often observed in people with high blood pressure. This, in the first place, is due to the fact that cough can cause certain medications that use hypertension. To the very same disease, it has nothing to do.
And finally, take note of such useful advice. If you are drawn to a cough in a very awkward and uncomfortable moment, you need to take the following methods to stop the cough.
1. Strongly strain and simultaneously expand the lower part of your chest.
2. Make a gap in the mouth with the help of the lips and, as if pronouncing the letter "F" for a long time, inhale the air.
3. Straining the lower part of the chest, make a quiet and smooth breath.
