1. What will aggravate the disease when coughing
1. Fat, sweet and thick food
Chinese traditional medicine reminds that patients with cough and other symptoms should try to eat less fat, sweet and thick food during the recovery period, especially some patients with serious illness, which should be banned in daily life. Many times, the cause of cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially for children. At this time, if you eat too much fat and sweet food, it will not only be detrimental to the recovery of the disease, but also may lead to an aggravation of cough, and even help dampness and heat, and breed sputum, which will make cough difficult to heal.
Especially for some children, children's gastrointestinal function is weak, especially during cough. If we don't pay attention to diet, it will not only be conducive to the recovery of the disease, but also may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, patients like fried foods should eat as little as possible, so as not to increase the gastrointestinal burden.
2, fishy shrimp and crab
Most patients with cough and other symptoms will get more serious after eating some fishy food, and even some patients will cough even when they smell fishy smell, which will also lead to allergies and other symptoms. Experts pointed out that this is because the fishy smell stimulates the respiratory tract and is related to protein allergy to fish and shrimp food. Therefore, patients with cough and other symptoms should be reminded to eat as little as possible or not to eat this kind of food in their daily lives, especially young children and patients should be forbidden to eat this kind of food.
Among all fishy foods, silver carp, hairtail and other fish are the most likely to cause cough, so patients should pay special attention to avoid eating these two kinds of fish, especially for children who are allergic to some fish and eggs, and should try to avoid eating these foods in their daily diet.
3. Sweet and sour food
Many patients with cough often have the phenomenon that sputum is not easy to cough up. Experts remind these patients that they should try to eat less sweet and sour food in their daily lives to avoid aggravating their illness. In the study, it is found that sour food often accumulates phlegm, which will make it difficult to cough up after eating, which will not only aggravate the condition, but also lead to intractable cough. Therefore, patients with cough and other symptoms should pay attention to eating less or not eating foods such as apples, bananas, oranges and grapes during the illness, so as to promote the recovery of the disease.
In addition to acidic food, patients with cough should also pay attention to eating less sweets in their daily lives, because eating sweets will help heat, which makes inflammation difficult to cure. There are many sweets, such as chocolate, sugar cane, candy and so on, especially ice cream should be eaten less. In the face of the problem that you can't eat anything when coughing, sweet and sour food must be taboo.
4. Oranges
It can be said that many people like to eat oranges, and some people think that oranges have the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, so many patients eat a lot of oranges during their illness. In fact, it is not orange meat but orange peel that has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm. If you eat too much orange, it will not only have the effect of relieving cough, but will lead to more serious cough symptoms, because orange meat will produce heat and phlegm instead.
5. Cold food
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,' cold form and cold drink will hurt the lungs' means that once the body is cold, drinking cold products can hurt the lungs of the human body, and cough is mostly caused by lung diseases, which lead to lung qi failure. At this time, if the diet is still not paid attention to (the diet is too cold), it is easy to cause lung qi occlusion, the symptoms are aggravated, and it will not heal for a long time. Cough is often accompanied by phlegm, and the amount of phlegm is related to the spleen. Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, which is in charge of the digestion and absorption of human diet. If you eat too much cold food, it will hurt the spleen and stomach, causing the function of the spleen to decline, gathering dampness and producing phlegm, which is what Chinese medicine says, "the spleen is the source of phlegm, and the lung is the device for storing phlegm." It can be seen that people who cough should fast cold food.
2. How to relieve cough
1. How to cough correctly: The correct way to cough is to take a deep breath, hold it for a while, and then cough vigorously, so as not to do your best. In addition, there are some ways to help patients feel more relaxed.
2. "Shrink your lips and play the flute": pucker up your lips and open and close your breath like a fish's mouth, but exhale as slowly as possible. It is a kind of self-controlled breathing training, also known as "blowing the flute and exhaling". Do it for 15 minutes every day, and increase the pressure in the airway by prolonging the exhalation time.
3. Abdominal breathing: Abdominal breathing can increase the mobility of diaphragm and improve lung ventilation. Middle-aged and elderly COPD patients are generally weak, so if it is inconvenient to take the usual standing posture, it is suggested to take the sitting posture and semi-lying posture in bed.
4. Clap the chest and back: pat the back from bottom to top, and pat it from around the lungs to the position where the trachea is in the middle of the back. Second, many people like to pat the back with their palms flat, which will hurt the patient and the effect is not good. The correct way is to put your fingers together, punch your palms slightly and pat your back.
