What is the reason for coughing

Cough is a disease caused by many reasons. If you do not pay attention to adding or removing clothes according to the temperature, do not pay attention to a healthy diet, etc., you will develop cough. Common colds are usually accompanied by coughing symptoms, but under normal circumstances the cough will disappear as the cold gets better. However, sometimes the cough will continue and people will always let it develop. In fact, this is an irresponsible behavior towards themselves. It will have adverse consequences on the body. Let us understand why coughs cannot be cured for a long time.

There are many reasons for coughing:

The most common causes of cough in clinical practice are common respiratory diseases, such as foreign bodies in our trachea, tumors in the trachea, and tracheal tuberculosis. These are tracheal diseases that cause us to cough. Secondly, some patients with rhinitis and sinusitis will have some secretions that flow into our throat and stimulate our cough, which is called upper airway cough syndrome. Third, acid reflux. Some patients with poor stomachs will have acid reflux, which irritates our throat and causes coughing. There are also some cough variant asthma, which are allergic diseases. They are sensitive to certain special things, such as pollen, paint, oil smell, smoke, gasoline and other items, which will cause coughing after stimulation. Of course, some eosinophilic pneumonia can also cause us to cough. Some elderly people with chronic heart disease and heart failure can also cause coughing. There are many reasons at this time, and the doctor may need to diagnose in time and do some comprehensive examinations in time to find out the cause and treat it in time.

The specific reasons for the persistent cough are as follows:

1. The patient has underlying lung diseases: these are relatively common, such as long-term smoking, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, bronchiectasis, and tuberculosis. 2. Cough variant asthma: mainly characterized by irritating cough at night. 3. Viral infection: such as Epstein-Barr virus, which can cause eosinophilia. 4. Nasopharyngeal lesions: such as postnasal drip. 5. Gastrointestinal diseases: gastritis, esophagitis, etc. 6. Drug-induced cough: certain hypoglycemic and antihypertensive drugs can also cause cough.
