The correct way to treat cough is to go to the hospital for routine blood examination, and if necessary, do chest X-ray examination to clarify the cause, and then treat the cause in time after diagnosis. Commonly used drugs include decongestants, antihistamines, antibacterial drugs, glucocorticoids, β2 receptor agonists, anti-reflux drugs and so on.

Patients with upper respiratory diseases can take oral antihistamines and decongestants, and treat allergic rhinitis and sinusitis in time. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, have a light diet, don't eat spicy food, don't smoke, and don't stay up late.

If cough treatment is ineffective for two days, it is best to go to the hospital to determine the cause. If cough is caused by bronchitis, doctors should choose appropriate antibacterial drugs according to the condition.

Cough variant asthma is mainly characterized by irritating dry cough, usually severe cough, and night cough is its important feature, which can be treated with inhaled glucocorticoid.

Cough caused by gastroesophageal reflux should be treated with anti-reflux drugs.
