If it is a long-term cough, it is necessary to find out the cause of the cough and treat it. Do a chest CT examination first to see if there is a long-term cough caused by chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis or chest tumor. If it is chronic bronchitis, anti-infective drugs need to be used for a long time, especially in the acute stage, and appropriate and sensitive antibiotics need to be selected for anti-inflammatory treatment according to the sputum culture results. If it is a long-term cough caused by bronchiectasis, sputum must be discharged in one position every morning. Frog prone posture can be adopted, and the waiter next to him can pat his back to promote sputum discharge. When infection occurs in the acute stage, appropriate drugs should also be selected for treatment according to the sputum culture results. If it is a long-term cough caused by a chest tumor, if it can be operated, try to treat it by surgery. Another cause of long-term cough may be cough variant asthma, which requires inhalation of propafenone for anti-asthma treatment.
The causes of cough are different, and the treatment methods vary widely. If cough is caused by external stimuli, it can be relieved or disappeared after staying away from stimuli. Cough caused by disease needs to be removed from the primary disease before cough symptoms can be controlled.
You can drink plenty of water at ordinary times, which can promote metabolism and relieve cough. You can also eat more loquat, pear, rock sugar, honey and other foods, which have the effect of relieving cough. If cough is caused by inflammatory stimulation, patients can be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. If this is caused by polyp stimulation, the patient can have surgery.
