1 1 What is the reason for the elderly coughing in the middle of the night 1. Lung qi deficiency, 2-3 o'clock in the middle of the night is the timing of lung meridian. Long-term cough in the elderly leads to lung qi deficiency, which will lead to poor qi movement, rising lung fire and coughing.
2. Old people are very cold at 2-3 pm. At this time, when the lung meridian is in season, it is necessary to mobilize lung fire to resist external cold, and then mobilize internal yin to balance lung fire. However, some frail old people are prone to dereliction of duty, and lung heat rises, causing cough.
12 What should the elderly pay attention to when coughing at night 1. When the weather is not cold, open the window for the elderly who often cough at night. When the weather is not cold, it is best to open the window when sleeping at night, which can let the lungs breathe fresh air. And don't smoke in the bedroom before going to bed, or eat something with a big smell, which is easy to stimulate the trachea.
2. Do a good job of keeping warm. When it is cold at night, people in poor health are more likely to wake up and cough in the middle of the night. So be sure to keep warm at night, cover the quilt thick, and don't open the window to sleep when it is cold in winter, which is easy to catch a cold.
Don't sleep with your head covered. Sleeping with his head covered sucks all the carbon dioxide out of the quilt, and oxygen can't be replenished in time. This is not good for the health of your lungs, and it is easy to wake up and cough in the middle of the night.
4. Try to breathe slowly through your nose, because breathing through your mouth at night will reduce the humidity of throat air and cause symptoms of dry throat and cough at night.
5. Change the sleeping position. People who cough easily at night can raise their backs a little and tilt them a little when they sleep at night, so that mucus will not lick their throats. You can also try to change a pillow, from lying flat to lying on your side, and adjust the angle of the respiratory tract;
