Methods to prevent cough with wheezing

I believe everyone has heard a sound, that is, some people often cough with wheezing. Whenever we hear this kind of wheezing cough, do we all feel curious and worried about these patients? So what is this disease? Is there any reasonable prevention method? Let’s discuss it together.

Cough accompanied by wheezing can be seen in bronchial asthma, spasmodic bronchitis, and cardiac asthma (foreign body in the trachea. When bronchial asthma attacks, wheezing is inevitable. At this time, in addition to the wide range of bronchiolar spasm, if there is also swelling of the bronchiolar mucosa and retention of secretions in the lumen, the intensity of the wheezing will be greater.

Causes

1. Respiratory system infection

Acute upper respiratory tract infection, acute tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, acute exacerbation of COPD, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, pleurisy, tuberculosis.

2. Non-infectious respiratory diseases

Asthma, chronic bronchitis, eosinophilic bronchitis (EB), allergic rhinitis, allergic cough (AC), bronchial lung cancer, pulmonary vascular disease (such as pulmonary embolism, etc.), interstitial lung disease.

prevention

1. Pay attention to dietary adjustment

As the saying goes, "Fish causes fire, meat causes phlegm, vegetables and tofu keep you safe." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that fish, crabs, shrimps, fatty meat and other meaty and greasy foods may cause dampness and phlegm, and some may even cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition. Spicy foods such as chili, pepper, and ginger can irritate the respiratory tract and aggravate cough, so be careful to avoid them. Fresh vegetables such as greens, carrots, tomatoes, etc. can provide a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts, which are beneficial to the recovery of the body's metabolic function.

2. Get enough sleep

During sleep, muscles throughout the body relax, the response to external stimuli is reduced, and activities such as heartbeat, breathing, and excretion are reduced, which is beneficial to the recovery of various organ functions and rehabilitation of diseases. Efforts should be made to let children rest in bed more and ensure that they get enough sleep to facilitate the body's recovery.

3. Ensure adequate water

Dry throat is one of the causes of pharyngitis in children, and pharyngitis is a common cause of chronic cough in children. Therefore, children should drink more water to replenish the water needed in the body. This can flush the throat and prevent it from drying out.

4. Maintain proper humidity in the room

The environment is too dry, the air humidity decreases, the mucous membrane becomes dry and brittle, small blood vessels may rupture and bleed, ciliary movement is restricted, and sputum is difficult to cough up. The effects are more pronounced when there is inflammation in the respiratory organs. Maintaining a certain humidity level indoors is not difficult. When the climate is dry, you can often mop the floor with a wet mop or sprinkle some water on the floor.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a general understanding of cough accompanied by wheezing, right? This disease is a respiratory disease and has a great impact on our respiratory tract. Therefore, in our daily life, we should exercise more, eat a healthy diet, and take preventive measures early.
