ไขข้อข้องใจกับ 4 คำถามยอดฮิต...เรื่อง “อาการไอเรื้อรัง”

Have you ever experienced this? Recovering from a cold… but the cough symptoms persist and continue for many weeks, which many people call “chronic cough”. Ah! But it’s not only caused by a cold. To get to know chronic cough better, let’s clear up the confusion with 4 popular questions about this symptom!!!! 
 
How do we know? The cough you have… is it chronic cough? &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Coughing for less than 3 weeks is called “acute cough”. This type of cough usually gets better on its own with medication. &nbsp;But if the cough lasts more than 3 weeks, it is chronic cough &nbsp;which requires further investigation to plan treatment according to the real cause.
 
So, what are the causes of chronic cough? 1. Common cold The cold virus sometimes affects the bronchi, causing acute bronchitis. Some people cough for a long time… and if there is a history of fever, it is often assumed that the chronic cough is caused by… bronchitis. 2. Smoking In these people, during cold weather, there is thick mucus causing them to cough to expel it. If they quit smoking, the symptoms will disappear.&nbsp; 3. Pollution such as factories with dust and smoke, or people living in polluted areas like traffic police.&nbsp; 4. Medications&nbsp; Some medications can cause chronic cough, such as blood pressure medications, which can be treated symptomatically or by changing the medication.&nbsp; 5. No cause If this group has a cough lasting more than 3 weeks, a chest X-ray should be done to check for lung infections, as tuberculosis is still found in Thai people today.&nbsp; 6. Elderly patients and smokers This group should be cautious about lung cancer. 7. Allergic airway diseases Mostly have runny nose symptoms. When lying down, mucus flows to the throat, causing difficulty breathing.&nbsp; &nbsp; 8. Asthma&nbsp; Mostly found in older people, possibly caused by exposure to allergens such as keeping dogs and sleeping in the same bed with the owner. &nbsp; 
How is chronic cough treated? 
 1. Find the cause&nbsp; See a doctor for an X-ray and analyze the root of the problem to treat the cough. 2. Treat the symptoms that occur. 3. Treat the underlying disease causing the chronic cough. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Chronic cough is not difficult to treat if the cause is addressed directly..... Coughing not only undermines good health, but if it is left to come and go or become chronic, it will also affect appearance, confidence, as well as the sound of coughing and the presence of phlegm, which are disturbing.
