Treating Persistent Coughs Is Essential
Coughing is mostly accompanied with common cold and flu, and results in acute pain and dryness in throat. It is important to seek suitable medical help and get it treated appropriately.
The defence mechanism of the body instigates coughs to clear the passage of air in the throat which prevents proper flow of air to the lungs. They not only happen because of physical problems and ailments but also can be caused due to psychological problems. Cough due to bodily ailments happens generally when external agents and environmental pollutants like smoke, pollen, dust etc attack the body or if you are down with some disease. The latter is a habit of sneezing or coughing in an individual without any concrete physical reason, and it is called 'habitual coughing' or Streruphilia in medical terminology.
Cough can many times be acute or chronic, depending on its typical nature and on the basis of the period for which it continues and its intensity. Acute coughs which continue for not more than 3 weeks at a stretch can be caused because of diseases that are either infectious or non-infectious. Complications such as pneumonia and sinusitis result in acute coughs while chronic diseases like asthma cause chronic coughing problems.
It is important that you consult a doctor and get a proper diagnosis of the root cause and severity of your cough diagnosed so that proper treatment can be done. Based on the identified root cause, doctors can prescribe several kinds of medicines such as antihistamines, antibiotics or other cough suppressants. However, chronic coughing might need the sufferer to resort to prolonged therapies, that can go on for months at a stretch until the problem is alleviated.
As with any other ailment, prevention of cough is much better than having to cure it later when you are badly suffering from it. Positive lifestyle changes can keep you away from cough problems and for that you should not smoke and intake a good, balanced diet. - 17268
