What medicine should I take for cold, asthma and cough

In normal times, we have to eat whole grains every day and face changes in the external environment. Sometimes we also have many bad living habits, which will affect our bodies and cause us to suffer from some diseases. The most common one is the cold. The cold is an insignificant minor illness in the eyes of many people. In fact, if the cold is not treated in time, it will cause asthma and cough. We should pay attention to protecting our health in life.

Case 1

Cough refers to the symptom of lung qi rising up with sound, spitting up phlegm or dry cough without phlegm. Clinically, cough is divided into two categories: exogenous cough and endogenous cough. Exogenous cough is mostly caused by the six external evils invading the lungs, which prevents the lung qi from being released. Cough due to internal injury is mostly caused by dysfunction of internal organs, which affects the lungs and causes the lungs to fail to descend. Exogenous cough is a new disease. The treatment is to dispel the external evil and focus on promoting lung qi so that the evil can be eliminated and the body can be at peace. Cough due to internal injury is a chronic disease. Its treatment focuses on regulating the functions of internal organs, including strengthening the spleen, nourishing the lungs, invigorating qi, tonifying the kidneys, clearing the liver, resolving phlegm and relieving qi, so as to strengthen the body and eliminate evil.

Case 2

If you have a cough accompanied by asthma, or a dry cough without phlegm, you can eat some apricots, because apricots contain amygdalin, which has the effects of relieving cough and expectoration, warming the lungs and dispersing cold. The almond in the kernel has a stronger antitussive and antiasthmatic effect. In addition, eating bananas or pineapples when you have a dry cough can also be effective.

Case 3

You can also take Astemizole. Astemizole is an H1 receptor antagonist, commonly known as an anti-allergic drug. It is a long-acting H1 receptor antagonist with no central nervous system sedation or anticholine effects. Suitable for seasonal, perennial, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, chronic urticaria and other allergic diseases.

Patients taking Astemizole should be careful when using it with antibiotics and other antihistamines. Use with caution in patients with significant liver dysfunction or hypokalemia. A small number of patients experience drowsiness and fatigue. Long-term use can increase appetite and increase weight. It is forbidden for pregnant women to use. Use with caution in women with a tendency to prolong the QT-interval, hypokalemia, and during pregnancy or lactation.

Case 4

Astemizole, the main ingredient of astemizole, has a highly effective antihistamine effect, strong affinity for lung receptors, good tissue distribution, and the fact that it does not cause sedation even when used in large doses. Therefore, astemizole is a useful adjunctive therapeutic agent for some asthma patients.

Case 5

We know that patients with cough and asthma can consult a pharmacist when using medication to take relevant precautions to help with treatment.
