What is the reason why the first sputum in the morning is black phlegm

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.

What may be the cause of phlegm and dry mouth and bitterness when I wake up in the morning?

The composition of haze is very complex and includes hundreds of atmospheric chemical particulate matter. Among them, the main health hazards are aerosol particles with a diameter of less than 10 microns, such as mineral particles, sea salt, sulfates, nitrates, organic aerosol particles, fuels and automobile exhaust gases, which can directly enter and adhere to the human respiratory tract and alveoli. In particular, submicron particles are deposited in the upper and lower respiratory tract and alveoli, causing acute rhinitis and acute bronchitis.

For patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, obstructive emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hazy weather can cause acute onset or acute exacerbation of the condition. Long-term exposure to this environment can also induce lung cancer.

Choice of Seasonal Masks] What kind of mask is suitable for spring?

Compared with autumn and winter, smog is not common in spring, but infectious diseases, pollen, catkins and so on follow one after another. The average diameter of allergenic pollen is about 25 microns, and the smallest is about microns, so masks that can theoretically filter effectively can also filter pollen to a certain extent. Common infectious diseases in the spring are mainly transmitted through airborne droplets, and in crowded places to prevent the inhalation of these droplets, it is necessary to wear masks that can effectively block fluids and filter bacteria, such as high-grade medical masks that meet the highest medical standards in the United States.

It is recommended that the high-grade medical mask imported from the United States can effectively filter pollen and germs, and the hypoallergenic material on the inner layer is suitable for sensitive people to wear and use.
