What to do if you have cough and vomiting

Coughing and vomiting is a health problem that many people have. Whether it is coughing or vomiting, it will have a great health impact on the patient. Therefore, after symptoms of coughing and vomiting appear, you must take certain methods in time to relieve these symptoms, restore your body to normal, and avoid the troubles of the disease. Below, I will introduce some methods that can effectively relieve coughing and vomiting!

1. Hot compress on the back

For coughs caused by different reasons such as colds, upper respiratory tract infections, tracheitis, focal pneumonia, etc., while carrying out anti-infection treatment, hot compresses on the back can dilate blood vessels in the upper respiratory tract, trachea, lungs, etc., accelerate blood circulation, enhance metabolism and the phagocytic ability of white blood cells, and have a significant cough-relieving effect. The specific method is to choose different types of hot water bottles, fill them with 60℃-70℃ hot water, wrap them with a towel, and place them on the patient's back for hot compress, twice a day, 20 minutes each time, for 3-5 days. When applying hot compress, drink plenty of warm water to help dilute and expel phlegm. It is worth noting that for the elderly, the weak, and infants, the water temperature in the hot water bottle should not exceed 50℃. If you find your skin flushing during the hot compress process, stop the hot compress immediately. People with fever should avoid hot compresses.

2. Foot patch cough relief method

Mash the garlic into a paste, knead it into a cake shape, apply it to the Yongquan acupoints on the soles of both feet, and cover with adhesive tape. Change the dressing every night after washing your feet, dry them and use a 7-day course of treatment. It has a good effect on the three types of coughs: wind-cold, wind-heat and dryness-heat, as well as coughs caused by whooping cough, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Some people develop blisters on the soles of their feet after applying the application. This is due to the strong irritation of garlic. You can use cough and phlegm-relieving drugs such as almonds and white mustard to grind them into a paste instead of garlic paste. This transdermal drug delivery therapy can improve drug availability. In addition, there is a "cold starts from the feet" reaction relationship between the soles of the feet and the upper respiratory tract mucosa. Once the feet are cold, the temperature of the upper respiratory tract mucosa will drop sharply, and a cold and cough will occur. After treatment with medicated adhesive tape, the regulatory mechanism can be strengthened, thereby achieving a cough-relieving effect.

3. Steam inhalation cough relief

Use a boiling kettle with a spout, fill it with a small amount of water, and place it on the stove. When the water boils and steam comes out, put your mouth toward the steam coming out of the spout and inhale it mouthful by mouthful. Do this for 20-30 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. It has a significant effect on cough, especially for acute tracheitis and bronchitis caused by exogenous wind-cold. When inhaling, you should pay attention to the appropriate distance between your mouth and the spout of the pot. If it is too close, you may get burned, and if it is too far, the temperature will not be high enough. A temperature that you can tolerate is appropriate.
