People must pay attention to coughs, discover them as early as possible and treat them as early as possible. At the same time, they must control and prevent them well according to their own conditions, and avoid infection.

People don't necessarily know about spasmodic cough. But knowing more about coughs can also be very helpful. Spasmodic cough is also caused by laryngeal edema and infection, which is rare in reality. Once discovered, people must take timely treatment and prevention measures. The following is a series of introductions to spasmodic cough, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Spasmodic cough can be understood as a cough caused by laryngeal edema or laryngeal irritation. The former is rare in clinical practice, but it is a critical condition, often seen in severe allergies (penicillin) and foreign objects accidentally entering the trachea, requiring emergency rescue. The latter is common in the elderly and young children, and is caused by poor swallowing function. It is necessary to prevent foreign body aspiration and aspiration pneumonia.

Differential diagnosis of spasmodic cough:

1. Paroxysmal cough: Paroxysmal cough refers to intermittent occurrence without a continuous state. Paroxysmal cough is a description of a form of attack. It has no cause, so it is meaningless. In fact, most paroxysmal coughs are allergic coughs.

2. Persistent cough: Coughing is one of the most common symptoms of the respiratory system. It is a protective measure of the human body and is beneficial to the body. When the respiratory mucosa is stimulated by foreign matter, inflammation, secretions or allergic factors, coughing is caused reflexively, which helps to eliminate foreign matter or secretions that invade the respiratory tract from the outside and eliminate respiratory irritants. A persistent cough is a sign of lung disease. Once this cough starts it takes two or three months to heal, and no cough medicine seems to be able to help it.

3. Allergic cough: Allergic cough (AC) has not yet been recognized as an independent disease. Its definition is still in the descriptive stage and lacks a large number of systematic research observations. It mainly refers to some patients with chronic cough in clinical practice, who have some atopic factors and are effectively treated with antihistamines and glucocorticoids, but cannot be diagnosed as asthma, allergic rhinitis or eosinophilic bronchitis (EB) and should not be classified as other diseases. , this type of cough is defined as AC. Its relationship and differences with allergic pharyngitis, EB, cough after cold, etc. need to be further explored to clarify whether it is an independent disease entity.

Through the above introduction to spasmodic cough, I hope everyone has a certain understanding. No matter what kind of cough it is, it will harm your body. So we must not ignore spasmodic coughs. If not treated in time, the harm caused is quite serious. So for the sake of your health, if you encounter a cough, you must go to the hospital for timely treatment and prevent the condition from worsening.
