A small cough dragged on, and the result...
Xiao Lin is an office worker. He started coughing recently. Because he didn't pay enough attention and didn't take medicine on time, his cough became more and more serious. Xiao Lin's cough lasted for almost half a month, and he didn't realize he needed treatment until he felt pain in his chest. After examination, Xiao Lin suffered from severe pneumonia and applied for hospitalization the next day. After several days of treatment, he was able to recover and go home.

Seek medical treatment blindly and develop mixed infections
Tongtong (pseudonym) is usually lively and active, but recently he suddenly started coughing. The first thing that parents thought of was to go to the hospital for treatment. After a doctor's examination, Tongtong just had a cough caused by a common cold, and the parents were finally relieved of their anxiety. However, what the parents did not expect was that while Tongtong was waiting in the hospital, he developed a mixed infection. The medicine originally used to treat the cold was ineffective and his condition became more serious. Later, after hospitalization, Tongtong recovered and returned home.

How should we respond correctly?
How to seek medical treatment correctly?
Fuzhou Second General Hospital
Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Chief physician Qiu Xing introduced
Coughing is the body's self-protection line of defense and an instinctive reaction. When viruses, bacteria, foreign matter, etc. "invade" the respiratory tract, coughing will "go out" and clear out the "invaders" by "coughing and coughing" to keep the airway clean and unobstructed, and also prevent pathogens from continuing to invade downward.
The causes of cough are complex
The more common is acute respiratory infection
And pneumonia, allergies, asthma
Inhalation of smoke, foreign matter, etc.
may cause coughing
At this moment
Never take cough medicine right away
Cough due to different reasons
Treatment methods are also different
It is important to identify the cause of the disease and treat it symptomatically
Under normal circumstances, ordinary cough symptoms are mostly caused by a mild cold. By drinking more water, getting more rest, and eating a light diet, the cough can be recovered in about 3 days.
However, if in addition to cough, you are also accompanied by common cold symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, and sneezing, you should receive reasonable treatment based on your own symptoms with over-the-counter medicines.
If fever persists for more than 3 days, cough becomes more severe and accompanied by phlegm, wheezing, shortness of breath, rales in the lungs, loss of appetite, poor mental status, etc., you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the type of disease in time and Cooperate with treatment.
for children
Usually based on the duration of the disease
Coughs can be divided into three types
acute cough
Cough lasting <2 weeks
persistent cough
Course of disease 2 to 4 weeks
chronic cough
Disease duration >4 weeks
Acute cough and persistent cough are mostly caused by respiratory infections. Most acute respiratory infections in children will subside within 2 to 4 weeks. However, if a child (under 14 years old) coughs every day and lasts for at least 4 weeks, which has affected his normal life, and there is no obvious abnormality on the chest x-ray, he should be alert to chronic cough.
Director Qiu reminded
As long as you pay enough attention and receive timely treatment, most coughs and subsequent complications can be cured.
