The doctors shared the recipes for cough

Note ill not only.

BRONCHITIS is an inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, a cause which is usually infection. Bronchitis can occur independently, for example after walking in the cold wind, or be a complication of other diseases — flu, SARS, pharyngitis.

First signs bronchitis — sore throat and hoarseness of voice, then these symptoms are joined by a dry cough, which increases at night. After a few days (usually 3-4), the cough becomes wet -appearing sputum. Sometimes bronchitis fever, which, however, is rarely high. If the bronchitis is severe, you may see shortness of breath and pain in the ribs. The average duration of the illness is about 2 weeks, usually after this time the permeability of the bronchi is restored and the cough is getting better.

But if you suspect that you have bronchitis, it is better not to wait until the disease will go away on their own, and to start treatment. The fact is that without treatment, bronchitis may from the acute form can become chronic. And this is a serious disease. If chronic bronchitis is exacerbated by the often light gradually sklerosiruta: on-site air pulmonary tissue appears rough scar. And here is close to respiratory failure, shortness of breath at the slightest exercise, pathological changes in the heart (sklerozirovanie lungs cannot saturate the blood with oxygen). Among the complications of acute bronchitis and serious medical problems such as pneumonia and emphysema.

Faced with the bronchitis, a rush to the pharmacy for expectorant drugs and commit a very common mistake. In the first stage of the disease when the cough still is not accompanied by phlegm, expectorants can only aggravate the inflammation. At this time it is better to do it with home remedies such as a warm drink (as often as possible, drink hot tea, rose hips extract, heated mineral water, warm milk).

By the way, the more you drink the more chances you have to “deal” with bronchitis in no FokI — excessive drinking promotes liquefaction of sputum and excretion of toxins. Nice effect with bronchitis also have a mustard plaster put on the upper part of the chest and on the back in the blades. But if you have heart problems, high blood pressure, bronchial asthma, psoriasis or eczema, this treatment is better to abstain.

If you failed to cure bronchitis at the stage of dry cough and sputum appeared, it is necessary to drink expectorants. But to make their own antibiotics to cure bronchitis, it is not necessary. Doctors prescribe this group of drugs only in complicated course of the disease and if you suspect that the patient begins to develop pneumonia. In other cases antibiotics can do harm.

The fact that the mucous membrane of the bronchi of our “live” with beneficial microorganisms, which do not allow to breed pathogens. Taking antibiotics you kill not only harmful but also beneficial microorganisms. And when you stop taking antibiotics, to restore the normal microflora will be difficult.
