If you have a cold, why do you spit so often?

Spit. Spitting is the act of spitting out foam or other secretions from the mouth. Different generations and regions have different understandings of spitting.

Cultural connotation. Spitting in the face of someone represents extreme contempt, hatred, and dissatisfaction with the other person.

In many areas, spitting is considered highly uncivilized. Spitting in some places is just as disgusting as open defecation.

Hygiene issues. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally believed that phlegm should not accumulate in the body, so it must be spit out in time.

Spitting can pose serious hygiene problems. Since droplets are the main route of transmission for many germs, spitting is unhygienic. For people with respiratory problems, spitting is even more harmful.

The sputum of these patients contains large amounts of bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, fungi, and parasites. The bacteria carried are staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumobacillus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, etc. These germs can be life-threatening.

Legal issues. Spitting is illegal in many parts of the world. In Hong Kong, spitting in public places is punishable by a fine of HK$1,500, even if it is an offence to spit directly in a garbage can or at a drain on the street**Members of the public and tourists are advised to spit on a tissue before wrapping it in the garbage can.

There are many Chinese medicines in China that can relieve cough and phlegm, such as autumn pear loquat honey.

Spitting can pose serious hygiene problems.

The so-called spitting can be divided into two situations.

1: Colds cause bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract, and secretions come from the nasal cavity and sinuses. Such as rhinitis, sinusitis, etc.

2. When catching a cold, due to the decrease in respiratory immunity, it can often cause infection and inflammation of the throat, trachea and bronchi, and the increase in secretions to produce sputum, which can be called tracheitis. If pneumonia is caused, it can also be spitting and causing a higher fever.

Here's why:

1. Colds can easily cause rhinitis, and the nasal mucosa secretes a large amount of purulent viscous secretions, which are transported to the nasopharynx through the nasal cilia and attach to the nasopharynx, causing pharyngeal foreign body sensation and cough.

2. After a cold, the body is weak, qi deficiency, and spleen deficiency can stop the dampness and condense into phlegm.

3. Weakness of the spleen and stomach, stagnation, damage to the spleen and stomach; or eat raw food, melons and fruits, and middle yang injuries; Or because of drinking too much hot water, it can make the water stagnant and accumulate into phlegm.

In fact, normally secreted sputum has the function of moisturizing the barrier, keeping the respiratory tract moist, and absorbing airborne particles. In addition, it also helps to kill pathogens. However, the normal production of phlegm is undetectable and does not cause discomfort.

In other words, if there is a lot of phlegm, it may be a sign of some kind of problem in the body.

If it causes inflammation, take anti-inflammatory medicine at the same time as cold medicine.

In Western medicine, the immune cells in the respiratory tract fight against bad viruses and bacteria, and the corpses are mixed with various respiratory secretions to produce phlegm.

There are physiological and pathological ones.

What Chinese medicine says, what is wind phlegm, cold phlegm, hot phlegm, etc., many reasons for the hand-beating to be adopted.

Because there is phlegm dioxide in the body.

Hello, this is the recovery period of the condition, and it is recommended that you continue to take the medication.

It may be pharyngitis, and it is best to go to the hospital for examination.

Many people have a cough that continues after they have recovered from a cold, why is that?

Sputum is the garbage of the respiratory tract, which contains the mucus secreted by us, the dust, soot, bacteria, and viruses that are inhaled into the lungs, as well as the exfoliated cells, necrotic tissues, blood cells, and purulent matter in the respiratory tract and lungs.

Research by bacteriological scientists has proved that hundreds or hundreds of millions of bacteria can survive in a mouthful of sputum, including dozens of germs that are easy to make people sick. Moreover, these germs survive in the phlegm for a very long time, even for several months.

What's even more terrifying is that once the phlegm spit on the ground dries, the germs inside will stick to the dust, float in the air, or be inhaled into our body, or spread in all directions with the air current!

In general, spitting is a bad habit, but for a few people, it is a noticeable symptomatic reaction.

Spitting is mainly patients with respiratory diseases, and the elderly and smokers are the majority. If we can look closely, we can tell from the color and concentration of the sputum by the naked eye alone. This empirical common sense can help us to diagnose ourselves and family members, which is helpful for patients to be timely**.

1.Gray or black phlegm, which is the deposition of iron powder, charcoal dust or dust, indicates the impact of environmental pollution on people. People who spit out this sputum are often patients with certain related occupational diseases.

2.White sticky sputum, indicating slight inflammation of the respiratory tract. People who spit out such phlegm are often patients with colds.

3.Foamy sputum is pink in color, and it is mostly secretions from patients with pulmonary edema.

4.Yellow or green thick phlegm, indicating purulent inflammation in the body of the spitting person.

5.Most of the jam-colored phlegm is ** lung tumors, even if the concentration is not large, the condition is serious.

6.Rust-colored sputum indicates that the spitting person may have lobar pneumonia.

7.Blood-streaked sputum, if not caused by oral trauma, is most likely tuberculosis.

Remember o(o....Adopt, support "like" me!

Drink plenty of water, take some phlegm-reducing medicine, pay attention to rest, and wish you good health.

Drinking honey lemonade can remove phlegm.

Phlegm is the secretion of the trachea, and when the trachea is inflamed, the secretion increases, and the cold will cause tracheitis, and the phlegm indicates that the cold has not been cured.

1. There are pathogenic bacteria in the nasal cavity and throat all the time, when the body is cold, the body can not resist the reproduction of these pathogenic bacteria in the body, and these pathogenic bacteria will quickly multiply to the onset of the disease, first causing upper respiratory tract infection, that is, sinusitis, pharyngitis, scratching, headache and other symptoms, if it is not timely or improper, it will be infected into tracheitis pneumonia, which is a cold that everyone is easy to get.

2. According to the above situation, the cold must be treated with effective antibacterial drugs roxithromycin, cephalosporin, azithromycin, etc., and acetaminophen tablets "antipyretic" must be used when there is a fever and headache, so that the cold is the safest and most effective.
