Old people always cough how to return a responsibility?

First, it's not uncommon for the elderly to cough all the time. Of course, part of the reasons are also related to the improper feeding methods of their families. Young parents lack too much knowledge about parenting nutrition. Due to the rapid growth and development of patients, those who take artificial feeding due to lack of breast milk, as well as those who are too spoiled, partial to food, anorexia, malnutrition or imbalance, may cause varying degrees of iron deficiency, calcium deficiency or insufficient vitamin and protein intake. Iron, zinc, protein and other nutrients play an important role in the synthesis of various globulins in the immune system and in promoting the maturation and differentiation of immune cells, affecting the body's resistance. The lack of vitamin A in the body will lead to the decrease and disappearance of cilia in the epithelial cells of respiratory tract, the loss of normal function of glands, the decrease of lysozyme and secreted immune antibodies, and the decline of barrier function, which will lead to infection. However, insufficient calcium intake can lead to rickets, low resistance and easy to be infected by virus and bacteria. Low calcium can weaken the ciliary movement of airway epithelial cells and make it difficult to excrete respiratory secretions. These are the causes of coughing.
