summary

I don't know why. Recently, I have been coughing all the time, and I didn't get well after taking medicine. Later, I went to consult an old Chinese medicine doctor and learned a lot about coughing. So, what is the cause of coughing? Let me tell you my experience.

What causes cough

First: because inhales the foreign body to cause the cough, this foreign body must divide into two kinds, respectively is the specificity and the non specificity. The former includes dust mites, pollen, fungi, animal hair, etc., and the non-specific inhalation includes sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, chloramine, etc. The specific inhalants of occupational cough include toluene diisocyanate, phthalic anhydride, ethylenediamine, penicillin, protease, amylase, silk, animal dander or excreta, etc. in addition, non-specific inhalants include formaldehyde, formic acid, etc.

Second: because of infection, the formation and attack or recurrence of cough are related to respiratory tract infection. In patients, there will be specific IgE of bacteria, bacteria, mycoplasma, etc. if the corresponding antigen is inhaled, cough can be triggered. After virus infection, it can directly damage the respiratory tract epithelium, resulting in increased respiratory responsiveness.

Third: cough caused by food, cough caused by diet is very common in many patients, especially infants and young children are prone to food allergy, but it gradually decreases with age. The most common food causing allergy is fish, shrimp and crab, eggs, milk, etc.
