Cough may be suffering from something.
1, cold
The most common symptom of a cold is cough. Colds often break out soon. In addition to coughing, patients will also be accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing and stuffy nose.
2, pharyngitis
Patients with pharyngitis also have symptoms of cough. The cough of pharyngitis patients is generally irritating. With the development of the disease, cough will become more and more severe, which will seriously affect the life and work of patients. In addition, pharyngitis will be accompanied by symptoms such as hoarseness and sore throat.
Pharyngitis is difficult to treat. If the disease is not well controlled for a long time, bronchitis, asthma and even pneumonia may occur. Therefore, once patients with pharyngitis have a cough, they must be treated quickly so as not to aggravate the condition and harm the body.
3. Acute bronchitis
Patients with acute bronchitis often cough. Patients with acute bronchitis have irritating dry cough at the beginning of the disease, but with the development of the disease, patients may have sticky phlegm, and a few patients may also have hemoptysis.
Of course, in addition to the symptoms of cough, acute bronchitis will also have cold symptoms such as chills, low fever, headache, stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat and hoarseness. Therefore, when patients have these symptoms at the same time, we must be alert to acute bronchitis.
In addition, if acute bronchitis is not well controlled, it is likely to develop into chronic bronchitis, and there will be many complications, so you must be alert to whether you are acute bronchitis when coughing.
4, bronchial asthma
Cough of bronchial asthma is often paroxysmal cough. There are three kinds of paroxysmal cough: one is spastic cough; Second, persistent cough; Third, allergic cough. In addition, bronchial asthma will also have chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing and other symptoms.
In addition, asthma is hereditary. If there are people with asthma at home, and their cough has not improved for many days, we must pay attention to whether there is bronchial asthma. At this time, you must go to a professional hospital for examination and diagnosis, so as not to make a big mistake because of carelessness.
5. Tuberculosis
The early symptom of tuberculosis is cough, and patients often cough up phlegm and hemoptysis, so if some people cough with phlegm and blood, they must be alert to whether they have tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease. For your own health and the health of your family, if you cough with phlegm and blood, you must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and rule out the possibility of tuberculosis.
6. Lung cancer
One of the symptoms of lung cancer is cough. Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with extremely high mortality. But in the early detection, the possibility of cure is relatively high, so when you have any discomfort, such as cough and chest tightness, you must go to the hospital for treatment.
Health is the foundation of everything. Only by having a healthy body can we have everything we want. Without health, everything is just a cloud. Therefore, when there are some "small problems" in our bodies, we must not take them lightly. We must find out the real cause of the "small problem" in time and then actively treat it.
