I cough every autumn

The temperature difference between day and night is large in autumn, and some respiratory diseases enter the peak period of the year, and influenza is also particularly prone to occur. Some friends start coughing as soon as autumn comes. No matter how much medicine they take, it doesn't get better. They go to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor can't prescribe the right medicine. So coughing all season is really a very torturous disease, so what is the specific reason for coughing every autumn?

1. In autumn, "dryness" is more prevalent, and the lungs "like moisture and hate dryness", so "dryness" is most likely to damage the lungs in autumn. In the hot summer, people sweat excessively, which consumes body fluids and energy. Then, in the dry autumn season, dryness is most likely to damage yin, and people will experience dry mouth, constipation, oral ulcers, etc. A dry environment is very harmful to the respiratory tract. This is because the movement of cilia on the respiratory mucosa slows down, and dust, bacteria, etc. can easily adhere to the mucosa, irritating the throat, causing irritation and damage to the respiratory mucosa, and causing coughing. If we do not pay attention to protecting our lungs at this time, it will cause a cough characterized by dry cough, which is called "autumn dryness cough syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. According to different symptoms, the syndrome is divided into "cold dryness" and "warm dryness", and the diagnosis and treatment are also different. In late autumn, cold and dry cough is more common.

2. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large in autumn, which makes it easy to catch a cold and cause coughing. Especially for patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, asthma, etc., they are most likely to catch a cold due to cold, causing a recurrence of old diseases and causing acute exacerbation. It causes coughing and even wheezing. This type of cough is more common in elderly people with poor immunity, children and some people with chronic respiratory diseases. In addition, some people with low immunity, weak lung and spleen qi, and weak Wei Qi are also susceptible to the disease.

3. In autumn, the wind is strong, the temperature is changeable, the flowers and plants are lush, the allergens increase, and the inhaled allergens floating in the air are dense and numerous. For example, pollen from ragweed plants, Artemisia plants, and seed plants. The concentration in the air increases in autumn, and diseases such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, cough variant asthma, and allergic cough are most likely to occur at this time. Therefore, these patients should pay attention to keeping warm, prevent contact with allergens, take medication prevention, and prevent recurrence.
