Cough Relief: 15 Home Remedies To Stop Protracted Cough

Cough Relief: 15 Home Remedies To Stop Protracted Cough Many individuals visit a medic every year on account of cough. Anything that irritates the airways-infection, tobacco smoke, other air pollutants, allergens, an inhaled foreign object-causes coughing. Cough, in most cases is a good thing and defends the body against illness. Elderly or otherwise incapacitated people are more at risk of pneumonia because they can't manage a forceful, airway-clearing cough. The most common and wide spread cause of cough is acute bronchitis. 90% of the time, the infectious agent is a virus. Usually, symptoms start in the upper airways with a sore throat and runny nose. Some viruses are more likely to spread below the trachea (windpipe) into the bronchi (large airways that deliver oxygen to the lung's tiny air sacs). The mucous membranes coating the bronchi swell and generate more mucus. Cilia, tiny hair-like projections from the cell that normally move the mucus carpet upward toward the mouth, stop functioning. The cough normally lasts three weeks, longer after a short period of influenza. Other causes of coughs are: Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and sinusitis can lead to postnasal drip, which tends to produce a nighttime cough. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD, or heartburn) can cause coughing and sometimes a burning sensation. Colds can worsen asthma, which can produce coughing, and more easily lead to bronchitis. Individuals infected with cystic fibrosis are at a high risk of contracting lung infections. Chronic bronchitis (cough lasting longer than three months) is common among smokers and the people around them. Tobacco smoke destroys immune defenses, burns the bronchial linings, increases mucus, and paralyzes the cilia. People with chronic bronchitis are more at risk of acute infection. Fortunately, the nature gives us everything we need to fight off cough and bronchitis.
