Symptoms of cough caused by stomach disease

The throat is where the esophagus and trachea open at the same time. When gastroesophageal reflux occurs, gastric acid and digestive enzymes in the stomach will not only reflux to the esophagus, but also to the pharynx and trachea, stimulating vocal cords, pharynx and trachea, resulting in hoarseness, cough and even asthma.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is caused by gastric contents such as perigastric acid entering the food wall, stimulating the cough reflector of stomach and esophagus or directly inhaling the trachea. The increase of abdominal pressure caused by cough will aggravate the degree of reflux and form a vicious circle.

Many patients with gastroesophageal reflux did not appear reflux symptoms, cough is its clinical manifestation, but the measurement of esophageal acidity can be seen significantly increased. Cough mostly occurs in the day and upright position, with dry cough more common.

matters needing attention

1. Low fat, light diet, eat less fried food. Fat can delay gastric emptying and reduce esophageal sphincter pressure. 2. Loosen your belt after dinner, but don't lie on your back. Lying on the back will cause the contents of the stomach to flow back to the esophagus. 3. Alcohol, strong tea and caffeinated food are easy to induce gastroesophageal reflux disease, so we should eat less.
