Why always cough in the morning

summary

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease caused by a variety of reasons, leading to smaller airway diameter, dyspnea, chest tightness, wheezing, cough and other symptoms, often exacerbating at night or early in the morning. The main clinical manifestations are exhaled dyspnea or paroxysmal chest tightness and cough. Severe patients are forced to take a sitting position to sit up and breathe, dry cough or cough up a large amount of white foam sputum. Asthma symptoms can occur within minutes. Bronchodilator can relieve asthma, but a few patients may relapse after a few hours of relief. Asthma is mostly related to genes and environment, so reducing the damage of allergic substances to patients is the key. Let's see why we always cough in the morning.

Why always cough in the morning

Reason 1: for asthma patients with cough in the morning, sometimes they need to take some antitussive drugs. For asthma patients with cough, most of them have dry cough. Codeine or dextromethorphan are commonly used in clinic, but codeine has strong addiction and is less used now. It is gradually replaced by dextromethorphan, or peripheral antitussive drug benzoate can be used.

Reason 2: the main drugs to slow down asthma attack are beta agonists, such as salbutamol, terbutaline, etc., or anticholinergic drugs such as ipratropium bromide. These drugs are usually inhaled by aerosol, which can dilate the bronchus, relieve bronchospasm, and can well prevent and treat the symptoms of massive asthma and early morning attack.

The third reason: upper airway cough syndrome, mainly dry cough, occurs in the morning and evening, accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, throat discomfort, itching, hoarseness and other related symptoms. Older children can report foreign body sensation in pharynx and often have voice clearing action. When the body position changes, the symptoms will aggravate, and the inducing factors such as cold, cold, rain and excessive fatigue can make the symptoms relapse or aggravate.

matters needing attention

People who often cough should pay attention to healthy diet, do not eat too spicy food, quit smoking and drinking, develop good habits of work and rest, and ensure adequate sleep.
