What are the auxiliary treatments for bronchitis cough?

Bronchitis is one of the most common respiratory diseases in life, and it is also a common and frequently occurring disease in winter. Bronchitis is always accompanied by a cough, which often occurs in the middle of the night. The cause of the disease is related to many factors such as weak constitution, allergies, infection, etc. Frequent recurrence of bronchitis will affect normal life, work and study, and may even be difficult to cure and last a lifetime. It will also damage the lung qi and cause some malignant infectious diseases such as pneumonia.

If bronchitis occurs in life, it is recommended to actively treat it. Generally speaking, in addition to taking some anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs, there are several daily clever treatments for bronchitis:

1. Quit smoking:

In order to reduce the irritation of smoking to the respiratory tract, patients must quit smoking. Other irritating gases, such as kitchen fumes, should also be avoided.

2. Scientific expectoration:

For elderly and weak patients who are unable to cough up sputum or patients with a large amount of sputum, the main focus should be on expectoration. Antitussive drugs should not be used to avoid suppressing the central nervous system and aggravating respiratory inflammation, leading to worsening of the condition. Helping critically ill patients change their body positions regularly and gently massaging their chest and back can promote the discharge of phlegm.

3. Proper physical exercise to enhance physical fitness:

Exercise can effectively improve the resistance of the respiratory tract, prevent upper respiratory tract infections, avoid inhalation of harmful substances and allergens, and prevent or reduce the occurrence of this disease. Exercise should be gradual and the amount of activity should be gradually increased.

4. Matters needing attention in life:

Maintain good home environment hygiene, ensure fresh indoor air circulation, maintain a certain humidity, and control and eliminate all kinds of harmful gases and smoke. Improve environmental hygiene, do a good job in dust and air pollution prevention, strengthen personal protection, and avoid the effects of smoke, dust, and irritating gases on the respiratory tract.

5. Diet therapy:

Boiled radish water can cure cough. If you have been coughing for several days and have difficulty falling asleep at night, you can buy a few radishes, cut half of the radish into slices every night, and boil it with clean water. After the radish is cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and drink it after it cools down a little. Coughing can be reduced. Drink it for a few days in a row and your cough will be cured.

6. Diet therapy:

Eating ginger slices can also relieve coughs. Wash and peel a piece of ginger, cut it into slices, and put a slice in your mouth when you have a cough, and the cough will stop immediately. Take another tablet when your throat itches again, twice a day, once before going to bed at night, and two or three times the next day, and your cough will be cured.
