"Cold dew and frost" anti-cough

BY Carol Carey 2020-05-24

  People with chronic bronchitis often have this experience: Every year when the wind blows and the coolness strikes people. The old problem of coughing is about to be committed. Sometimes the climate in autumn is dry, and people who are already in good health will also have itching and coughing. Autumn is a season of coughing, and chronic bronchitis is easy to relapse or aggravate. Chronic bronchitis does not heal repeatedly, and eventually it can be complicated by emphysema, and then it evolves into chronic pulmonary heart disease, which is very harmful to health. Therefore, early prevention and active treatment are the key to dealing with chronic bronchitis.

   Pay attention to cold and warmth. The autumn and winter festivals are short and the weather is cold. Patients should wear more clothes, and they must not ignore the warmth of the lower limbs. In addition to insisting on soaking your feet with hot water every night before going to bed, you need to cover more bedding at night, and you can also use heating appliances and equipment.

  Prevent respiratory infections. Each "cold" will induce the recurrence of chronic bronchitis and aggravate the original condition. Patients should try to avoid visiting relatives and friends, and not to crowded public places.

   Maintain indoor air circulation. Open windows frequently to ensure that the indoor air is clean and fresh; pay attention to the surrounding environment when going out, strengthen labor protection, and prevent the influence of smoke, dust and harmful gases on your respiratory tract.

  Adjust the diet structure. It is generally advocated to eat less and eat more meals. The diet should be light, and strive to contain enough calories, protein and multi-vitamins per meal. Usually eat less spicy food, so as not to "exterior branches" exacerbate the condition. The autumn climate is dry, it is appropriate to eat some dry food or medicine, such as pears, apples, olives, White radish, white fungus, sugar cane, etc., to clear the lungs and prevent coughing.

  Quit smoking. Smoking not only exacerbates cough, but also causes bronchospasm reflexively, causing chest tightness and shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. It also lays the foundation for the formation of emphysema.

   Actively treat respiratory tract inflammation. Once the patient becomes ill, he should consult the doctor in time to control the infection, so as to prevent the disease from aggravating the consequences. Even patients in remission can not be taken lightly.

  Strengthen physical exercise. According to their own conditions, patients can choose their own exercise methods, persevere, improve physical fitness, enhance cold resistance and disease resistance, and ultimately achieve the purpose of reducing morbidity.

   It was suggested that "Deep Autumn" is the best time to prevent and treat cough and asthma. Because most patients with chronic bronchitis belong to the spleen and kidney yang deficiency type, which is marked on the lungs and originally on the spleen and kidney. When the fall eases, take advantage of the vigour of nature''s yang to take advantage of the trend and support the solid foundation. Spleen and kidney yang are strong and the body''s immunity is enhanced, so there is no way to have asthma in winter. This is the so-called "winter disease and autumn cure".
