What to do if you have a cough with phlegm for years

In clinical practice, the presence of respiratory diseases, such as upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, lung tumors, tuberculosis and other diseases, should be considered in clinical practice. Of course, for some patients with the cardiovascular system, the above conditions may also occur, such as cardiac insufficiency, patients may also have cough, cough pink foamy sputum and other conditions.

Therefore, for the above conditions, you can go to the hospital to further improve the relevant examinations, and give symptomatic treatment after a clear diagnosis, such as blood routine, erythrocyte sedimentation, electrocardiogram, cardiac enzymes, brain natriuretic peptide, chest CT, and procalcitonin. Symptomatic treatment is based on the results of the examination, such as if the blood routine shows elevated white blood cells and the chest CT shows patchy shadows in the lungs, pneumonia is often considered.

Analysis:

Hello, it is not possible to generalize, it is generally considered that acute bronchitis causes cough, mostly secondary to upper respiratory tract infections such as colds, and in the early stage of inflammation, it is mostly viral infection, which causes degeneration of respiratory tract cells, but there is not much exudation, so the amount of sputum is not much, and in the later stage, secondary bacterial infection, purulent exudate, bacteria, necrotic tissue, etc. increase, so the amount of sputum also increases accordingly.

Guidance: The natural course of bronchitis is 1-2 weeks, and the amount of phlegm does increase in the later stage of the disease, which is the result of the discharge of necrotic cells and bacteria, so the presence of phlegm also indicates that it is close to healing in the later stage of the course of the disease, but close to healing does not mean that it is not necessary, such as excessive and thick sputum, expectorants such as Mushutan should be taken, the sputum is yellow, fever, antibiotics can be added, such as Darifine, Azithromycin, etc.,to facilitate speed**.

Coughing is a reflexive protective behavior of the body to expel a foreign body from the respiratory tract, but if the cough has phlegm, it is pathological.

1. Drink plenty of water. Water can dilute the phlegm and moisten the throat, sometimes the phlegm is very thick and not easy to discharge, so you need to drink more water to help cough up the phlegm.

2. Cough suppressants are prohibited. If you have a severe, dry cough, which is a cough without phlegm, you can take a sedative cough medicine such as cough syrup and licorice tablets. However, if you have phlegm, you must not use cough suppressants, otherwise you will not be able to cough up the sputum with viruses and bacteria, and the symptoms will not be eliminated.

If the sputum is thick, you should take a phlegm-reducing drug such as ambroxol hydrochloride.

3. Dietary avoidance. Do not eat spicy and fried food, fish and shrimp and other seafood, which will increase the symptoms of cough and phlegm. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and have a light taste.

4. Use antibiotics. Colds and coughs are mostly viral infections, but if you cough up yellow sputum, it is basically combined with bacterial infection, so some antibiotics can be used at this time, such as amoxicillin and cephalosporins.

5. Pat your lungs. Sometimes it is difficult to cough up the sputum, so you can sit up straight and ask your family to help pat the lungs on your back. Pat your hands from the bottom to the top as if you were scooping water. The force should be slightly greater, otherwise it will have no effect.

Phlegm and cough are easily caused by many diseases. For this type of symptom, there are mainly the following methods.

The first is that it can be symptomatic**. Since there are many causes of phlegm and cough, we need to find out ** in order to be able to better symptomatic**. It is generally believed that bronchitis is a common cause of phlegm-heavy cough.

If the diagnosis is caused by bronchitis or respiratory tract infection, you can follow the doctor's instructions to take some anti-inflammatory, cough and expectorant drugs for symptomatic treatment**.

Secondly, acupressure can be massaged. Fenglong acupoint is an experience acupoint for dissolving phlegm and dispelling dampness, which can dissolve both tangible and invisible phlegm. Yinling Spring is the acupuncture point of the Yin and Spleen meridians of Zutai, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and relieving dampness.

The two acupuncture points are pressed and kneaded together, ten minutes a day, the strength is uniform and soft, and it is equivalent to taking the body's own phlegm soup.

Finally, there is the diet therapy. We all know that there are many foods that moisten the lungs and relieve cough, mainly pears, white fungus, lilies, white radish, persimmons, loquat and so on.

If you have cough and phlegm, you need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and choose the appropriate drug for ** after clarifying**, which can shorten the course of treatment.

So how do we dissolve phlegm, if we have the conditions to be hospitalized in the hospital, of course, there are more means, we can do nebulized inhalation, now the family also has some nebulized inhalation, some family medical equipment, especially for children, for the elderly, especially for senile, chronic bronchitis such patients, if there is this kind of aerosol at home, nebulized inhalation of this kind of equipment, it is better to use nebulization inhalation, you can put some alpha chymotrypsin, put some anti-inflammatory drugs, It can make the phlegm easy to cough out, we have to distinguish among the drugs, it is a kind of cold phlegm, or a kind of hot phlegm, cold phlegm is a kind of cough is a white, foamy phlegm, this we generally call cold phlegm, then we have to use some warm medicine, to carry out this phlegm**, if it is cough phlegm, is a yellow thick phlegm, it must belong to hot phlegm, then we need to use some, some of this cold medicine, to clear heat and dissolve phlegm, this needs to go to the hospital, find a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe, Syndrome differentiation treatment prescribes this symptomatic, this prescription to carry out**.

Cough with phlegm, which should be treated according to the condition; If the amount of sputum is large and there is yellow sputum, anti-inflammatory** may be required, if the amount of sputum is small and easy to cough up, use some drugs to control cough, and observe it, but for elderly patients, it is difficult to cough up sputum, you can pat your back to discharge sputum or use phlegm-reducing drugs; If you often have a cough with phlegm that cannot be relieved, you can drink Defu Qinyan tea, which is a more commonly used product with a better expectorant effect on long-term cough.
