Why do I always cough and have phlegm?

When it comes to coughing, the first thing people think of is definitely the cold. In fact, this is not wrong. Colds are caused by bacterial and viral infections. Bacterial infections can cause coughing and even cause excessive phlegm, but coughing and excessive phlegm can also occur without a cold. This can make people feel scared and think that there is something wrong with their lungs. Some people blindly treat it as a cold, but the injections and medicines are ineffective. All this is because the right medicine is not used.

I think everyone will be more confused after hearing this. Many people will ask, what is the right medicine for the disease? Isn't my cough a sign of a cold? If the cold is cured, the cough will naturally go away. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Some coughs are not caused by colds. So, what is the reason for always coughing and sputum?

The main cause of cough is respiratory tract infection, of course including the lungs; some people's cough can last for several months, and whooping cough in children is an example. White sticky sputum is often caused by mycoplasma or viruses, yellow thick sputum is caused by coccal infection, gray sputum is caused by bacilli, and green sputum is caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Mixed colors indicate mixed infections. Nowadays, air pollution is also one of the causes of cough. If you still have a cough after the acute infection is controlled, traditional Chinese medicine is a good choice.

Always coughing with phlegm may be pharyngitis, which is a disease caused by bacteria and can be divided into acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis. Acute pharyngitis is often caused by viruses, followed by bacteria. It is most common in winter and spring. It is often secondary to acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis, acute tonsillitis, and is often a complication of infectious diseases such as measles, influenza, and scarlet fever. Catching cold, fatigue, long-term stimulation by chemical gases or dust, excessive smoking, etc., can reduce the body's resistance and easily promote the onset of the disease. It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods while taking medication.

Many bacteria and viruses can cause coughing, which is not necessarily caused by a cold. Even air pollution can cause coughing. Therefore, coughing with phlegm is not terrible. As long as we go to the hospital in time to check what bacteria is causing it and prescribe the right medicine, we can kill all the millions of bacteria and let the refreshing "mint" flourish in our throat.
