Cough without fever

Some symptoms of colds run without temperature and, therefore, sometimes do not cause much concern. In fact, they are very dangerous. For example, a prolonged cough without fever and cold suggests that there is a latent infection in the body. This symptom is extremely serious. Let's take a closer look at the causes of this phenomenon and how to get rid of it.

Causes of Cough without Temperature

If a person coughs for a long time, but does not have temperature, a cold or sneezing, this can be a sign of such problems in the body:

1. Hidden inflammation or allergic reaction. This cough in the throat is accompanied by a runny nose and sneezing, but the temperature of 37 does not rise higher.
2. Heart failure.
3. Venereal disease. With this pathology, a constant cough accompanied by skin irritation, a rash, and the temperature does not increase.
4. Pneumonia or ARVI.

Sometimes people cough not because of a cold, but because of the pollution of the environment. Often this symptom, along with a runny nose, is observed in people working at a mine, metal processing plant or chemical plant. Very often, without a runny nose and temperature, smokers cough for a long time. In people with allergies, this condition can be caused by feather pillows, in which mites are found. To understand how to be treated for a prolonged cough without a cold and fever, determine whether it is dry or wet.

Sukhoi

The main causes that can cause a dry cough (sometimes with wheezing) without fever and cold are:

1. Allergy to external irritants. The body tries to release the respiratory system from irritating particles, for example, dust, animal hair, household chemicals.
2. Ecology. If you live in an environmentally unfavorable place for a long time, then barking cough with a runny nose without temperature can be caused by environmental pollution. Long-term smoking exacerbates the situation. All this sometimes leads to chronic diseases of the respiratory system.
3. Heart problems. In this situation, the condition worsens when lying down. Sometimes it becomes difficult to breathe because of this.
4. Papillomatosis of the larynx. The larynx is covered with papillomas. Another patient feels uncomfortable in the throat, but there is no fever or runny nose, like with a cold.

Wet

The reasons for this cough (in the absence of fever and cold) can be the following problems:

1. Bronchitis, tracheitis, other similar diseases. As a rule, this symptom is a residual phenomenon of the inflammations, the maximum duration of which is a month.
2. False groats. With this diagnosis, a person has a very strong cough without a runny nose and fever with painful bouts. The sputum practically does not clear the throat.
3. Tuberculosis. A dangerous disease, which often does not show any other symptoms. Coryza and cough with phlegm containing blood.
4. Cold. In ARVI, a person suffers from a runny nose, even if the temperature remains normal.

Paroxysmal

Such a cough in the absence of a runny nose and temperature is very dangerous. Man, suffocating, his throat is very sore. This in no case can not be tolerated or treated at home. It is necessary urgently to address to the doctor who will define, by what symptom such such attacks are a symptom. If you sometimes cough up almost to vomiting, the reasons for this may be:

• bronchial asthma;
• whooping cough;
• ARVI;
• a tumor in the lungs or bronchi;
• pneumonia.

Night

A dry cough at night can be a sign of an allergy to natural pillow fillers. But he is also a symptom of other dangerous diseases. It is necessary to try to understand what other signs are observed, for example, a runny nose or sneezing. If you have snot with no temperature at night, you have snot, it's either a cold or an allergy. Often people cough at night because of the wrong structure of the skeleton or internal organs, or inflammation of the nerve endings.

Protracted

If there is no chill during prolonged cough, this does not mean that there is no danger. Constant coughing may indicate that the body for some reason does not respond to the virus with high temperature. If this lasts a very long time, you need to undergo a medical examination. The reasons for this condition can be:

• heart diseases;
• tuberculosis;
• allergy;
• pneumonia;
• ARVI;
• complex form of bronchitis.

How to cure a cough

If it's a cold without temperature, then the tablets that dilute sputum will help. These include Mukaltin, Ambrobene, Brommgeksin. In more severe cases, antibiotics will be needed.

Different approaches are used to treat cough in children and adults.

If it is associated with an infection of the upper respiratory tract, then you will need to drink pills for colds. The most important thing is to understand what to take to turn a permanent dry cough into a wet one. To do this, prescribe drugs that stimulate expectoration:

1. Reflex. Drugs that drink with a prolonged cold. They affect the areas of the brain responsible for the cough reflex. The most common example is the leaves of mother-and-stepmother, plantain. Of the drugs - Codeine.

Prolonged cough without fever

Many people pay attention to cough only if it is accompanied by fever. In the remaining cases, the symptom is not serious, they are waiting for an unpleasant phenomenon to pass by itself. They do not even think about going to the hospital, and a long cough without temperature persists for months.

The frivolous attitude to a signal of an organism in most cases comes to an end pitiful enough:

• The underlying disease that caused the cough and was not treated for a long time, grows into a severe form.
• The patient begins to show additional ailments, caused by a permanent weakening of the body's immune system.
• Treatment requires large financial costs.
• The patient falls out of active life for a long time.
• Often the neglected form of the underlying ailment that caused a cough without temperature, because of untimely medical care, can not be cured completely. A person for a lifetime gets a chronic illness.

The severe consequences of ignoring a prolonged cough without fever are explained by the fact that often it is a companion of quite serious and dangerous processes occurring in the body. They can affect various organs, as well as worsen the state of the immune system as a whole.

Prolonged cough, chest pain without fever due to chronic bronchitis

Reflex spasms of the respiratory tract often serve as a sign of ailments, not necessarily having a sharp form. A prolonged cough (more than a month) without a temperature is very often observed with chronic bronchitis. Its main features are:

• Parallel appearance of painful sensations in the chest.
• Gain in windy and damp weather.
• Allocating abundant sputum.

Prolonged disregard of the symptom and lack of adequate treatment of the underlying disease can lead to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Long cough without fever with tuberculosis

In addition to protracted bronchitis, there is a more serious respiratory disease, which can be evidenced by bronchospasm, which do not give rest for a long time. A prolonged cough (3 weeks) without fever can be a sign of such a terrible ailment as tuberculosis. The symptom that accompanies this disease has the following characteristics:

• It may be dry or with a small amount of sputum.
• Has a metallic sound.
• It manifests itself mainly in the morning hours, after the patient got out of bed.
• Individual seizures can be quite long.

The danger of ignoring a prolonged cough without the temperature caused by tuberculosis is that during reflex spasms, which are becoming more intense, respiratory organs can be injured and pulmonary bleeding. The main disease in the absence of adequate treatment will progress, growing into a more severe form.

Constant cough without temperature in smokers

Reflex spastic exhalations, which last for a long time, can be caused not only directly by diseases of the bronchi or lungs. Often they develop due to the presence of a harmful habit - nicotine addiction, which provokes the beginning of the development of various pathological processes in the respiratory organs.

If the cough lasts 3 weeks (no temperature), while a person has a long experience of a smoker, it is worth paying attention to the following symptoms:

• Are there any signs of any infectious diseases.
• Does cough appear most often in the mornings, after physical exertion (even fast walking), with sudden inhalations.
• Are bronchospasm accompanied by the release of dense clots of mucus.

If a prolonged cough without temperature in a smoker is accompanied by similar symptoms, then there is a high probability that an unpleasant phenomenon is caused by the constant inhalation of tobacco smoke.

The only way to get rid of a prolonged cough without temperature in this case is to stop smoking. All other methods (inhalations, mint or eucalyptus sweets, softening the throat of the rinse) may slightly weaken the intensity of reflex spasms, but they will not be able to completely rid themselves of them.

Just as it is impossible without abandoning the harmful habit and stop the pathological processes that began in the respiratory system. After all, very often a prolonged cough in smokers develops into chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which threatens with serious consequences for health.

Prolonged cough without fever with heart disease

Continuous reflex spasms of the diaphragm can be caused not only by pathological processes occurring directly in the respiratory organs. If, for example, a cough lasts 2 weeks without a temperature, then it is worth paying attention to other sensations and signs:

• A symptom without temperature, accompanied by the separation of mucus and blood clots, will indicate a possible failure of the right ventricle of the heart, which appeared against the background of atrial fibrillation. The prolonged course of this disease causes stagnation in the lungs. As a consequence, there is a thromboembolic syndrome that causes bronchospasm.
• A sharp dry cough, accompanied by pain, not only in the heart area, but in the entire chest can be a sign of pericarditis or rheumatism. The absence of treatment of these diseases for a long time is fraught with the onset of heart attacks.
• A prolonged, exhausting and loud cough without temperature, which occurs after a person's stay for some time in a supine position, may indicate a heart failure of the left ventricle. It is accompanied by a strong choking. Coughing in this case brings noticeable relief.
• A prolonged dry cough without fever can be a symptom of a strong increase in the size of the left atrium. An unpleasant phenomenon can be accompanied by weakness and abundant sweating.
• In children, a prolonged cough without fever can indicate the presence of congenital heart disease. This disease is fraught with various complications. However, a child can outgrow it.

Prolonged cough without fever in allergic reactions

Supersensitivity of the organism to various stimuli can also cause reflex spasms of the respiratory tract. The unpleasant symptom arising from the action of allergens can be quite long. He pursues a person until the patient's contact with the provocateur is excluded. If the cough lasts two weeks (without the temperature), then it will not be superfluous to visit the hospital and take tests to identify various intolerances.

For an unpleasant symptom caused by an allergy, the following course is characteristic:

• Appearance after contact with a specific stimulus.
• Absence of such signs of painful conditions, such as: fever, fever, pain, weakness.
• Possible presence of itching, runny nose, sneezing.
• Absence of phlegm.

A prolonged cough without fever can be evidence of an allergic reaction of the body to such common things as:

• Pollen of plants.
• Food.
• Wool.
• Frost.
• The sun.
• Cosmetical tools.
• Household chemical products.

The reasons for the development of allergies and the occurrence of a prolonged cough without temperature, can be:

• Excessive hygiene, which reduces the protective function of the immune system.
• Antibiotics.
• Food saturated with chemical elements.

Unfortunately, drugs that treat allergies do not exist. Therefore, the only way to get rid of a prolonged cough without temperature is to completely exclude contact with the stimulus that causes intolerance.

Of course, the general knowledge of the causes of reflux airway spasms is not enough to independently diagnose and prescribe treatment. Only a doctor can correctly understand why an unpleasant symptom arose, analyze all available clinical picture and identify a disease that causes an unpleasant long-term cough without temperature. Only after this, the specialist appoints the optimal treatment regimen, which will help the patient in the shortest time to get rid of an unpleasant symptom and the underlying ailment.

In addition, this is one of the five most common reasons for visiting a doctor. And it is right! After all, only a doctor can say for sure that it can cause a cough without fever. It can be:

Although asthma can begin at any age, it usually develops in childhood. The causative agents of asthma for all are different, and they can include physical activity, colds, cigarette smoke and other household irritants, as well as certain foods. Asthmatics usually have an allergy.

You can independently determine whether it is caused by an allergy, tracking its occurrence in certain situations.

This disease occurs when the airways and air sacs in the lungs become inflamed or damaged, most often due to smoking, and more often after 45 years. In COPD, the lungs produce an excess of mucus, which the body reflexively attempts to withdraw with the help of a cough.

3. Gastroesophageal reflux disease

What is dangerous is a strong moist cough in a child without fever

A wet cough in a child without a temperature creates a lot of serious concerns for his parents. But often the cause of its appearance is hidden in ordinary dust. Therefore, before therapy, you need to find out why the baby cough.

Differences in wet cough

A toddler under the age of two years coughs many times a day. Doctors do not see in this phenomenon a serious cause for concern, if the overall condition of the child does not deteriorate. But quite often cough for no apparent reason indicates dangerous diseases.

There are two types of cough:

• dry;
• wet.

Unlike dry, wet cough does not do without phlegm and wheezing. As for duration, it can be acute, prolonged or chronic. Therefore, in those situations where a cough does not last for three weeks, it can become protracted. If you can not cure it, then after three months it will grow into a chronic form.

The main causes of persistent wet cough:

• cold and acute respiratory infections;
• ENT infections;
• tuberculosis;
• allergy;
• whooping cough;
• helminthic invasion;
• psychogenic factor;
• insufficient air humidity;
• reaction to chemical products;
• getting a foreign object into the respiratory tract;
• diseases of the digestive system.

There are many reasons for the appearance of a wet cough. Therefore, parents need to seek help from a doctor as soon as possible. He will appoint an effective method of treatment, and the baby will again be healthy and cheerful.

Wet cough as a symptom of disease

Often at the initial stage of the disease, a strong cough is its only sign.Often, he can stay after treatment for ARVI. Rhinitis and pain in the throat, as a rule, pass quickly enough. But coughing is still present for some time without causing heat and additional symptoms.

With regard to sinusitis, rhinitis and other diseases of the ENT organs, the discharge often falls in the upper respiratory tract. This causes the attack of a damp cough in the baby. To avoid this, you need to treat the mouth and throat of the child with an antiseptic. For example, you can do inhalation tincture of chamomile. This procedure will be an effective preventive measure against throat inflammation.

One of the signs of tuberculosis is a frequent cough. In some cases, it is not accompanied by a high temperature. If the parents have serious suspicions about this, the baby should be shown to a qualified specialist.

Allergic reactions can manifest themselves, and may be accompanied by other diseases. Sometimes the body with a dry or wet cough responds to certain components of medications. In this case, the child does not have a high fever.

One type of allergy is bronchial asthma. In addition, the baby can have wheezing, shortness of breath, difficulty in the respiratory process. To establish the irritant, the child must donate blood for a number of laboratory tests.

As for whooping cough, a prolonged cough without fever can remind you of the illness. In this case, the child is nearing the night, there are attacks that resemble asthma. This phenomenon, as a rule, is psychosomatic.

Since parasites are able to move freely through the internal organs of a person, they can penetrate into the respiratory system. Then there is irritation of the lungs, bronchi and even sputum may appear. Such cases are quite frequent. It is often difficult to diagnose a helminthic infection because of the common cold symptoms.

Strong coughing attacks can go away, and then resume after a few months. The most active periods of worm propagation are autumn and spring. Since at this time the body does not have strong immunity, parasites begin to multiply rapidly.

Why cough does not pass?

Often, poor state of health can be caused by a number of emotions and worries that arise in critical situations.

The child's organism expresses anxiety and nervousness with the help of a cough. This is especially often seen at night or during a meal.

If the kid is involved in something, then he does not cough during this period. As soon as the child becomes tense, seizures resume. Sometimes they can not stop for a long time. Naturally, over time nervousness can retreat itself. But if a child grows more aggressive, it should be shown to a psychiatrist and neuropathologist.

Often, the cause of coughing can hide in the dryness of the air of the room, where most of the time the baby spends. To increase the humidity in the room you must either use a special humidifier, or put a container of water. Such measures will help to calm the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, and also relieve the baby from painful sensations.

Often, various chemicals can cause a wet cough in a child. If the house often uses aggressive household chemicals, the baby can suffer from irritation of the mucous membranes. Harmful components of various drugs can enter the respiratory system of the child, so at the time of harvesting it must be sent to fresh air. After the cleaning procedures are completed, the entire apartment needs to be ventilated well, since there is a high risk of chemical poisoning of the baby's body.

Very often young children swallow small parts during games. The foreign body sticks inside, causing a strong irritation of the pharyngeal mucosa. As a rule, in such a situation, there is an attack of a sharp cough. In this case, the child needs to be turned upside down and shaken well. In order for this to happen no longer, it is necessary to safely hide all small items. Also, you can not leave your baby alone in the room for a long time.

.

Often, a sick stomach and biliary tract cause a wet cough in a small child. Since the digestive products enter the respiratory system, they begin to cause irritation of the mucous membrane. This may well have an effect on the occurrence of a wet cough in a child without temperature.

Conclusion on the topic

A dry or wet cough without fever in a baby can have many reasons for its appearance. In this case, you can not independently treat the child. Therefore, you need to seek help from a doctor as soon as possible.

Severe cough without fever

There is an opinion that cough, not accompanied by fever, is not a manifestation of serious pathologies, but it is not so. The high temperature, on the contrary, indicates that the body has directed efforts to fight the disease. At the same time, the normal temperature in the presence of other anxiety symptoms indicates a decreased immunity.

Also, the cough can have a different origin, not associated with the defeat of the respiratory system and with infectious processes. This occurs when the cough center is irritated due to pathological processes in other organs. Let's try to figure out what could be associated with the appearance of a strong cough without a rise in temperature.

Severe dry cough without fever

Consider the most likely causes of dry cough without raising body temperature:

1. Allergic reactions to the action of various external factors, as a result of which the respiratory system tries to get rid of the irritating particles. For example, a strong cough at night or in the mornings without a temperature can indicate an allergy to the mites that are in the feather pillow filler. Also, cough can occur as a result of allergies to dust, pet hair, pollen of plants, household chemicals, etc. In many cases, this symptom is accompanied by nasal congestion, runny nose, lacrimation.
2. Living in an unfavorable ecological environment or the effect of unfavorable factors in the workplace, as well as smoking (including passive). As a result, chronic diseases of the respiratory system, accompanied by a persistent strong chest cough without temperature, can develop.
3. Diseases of the cardiovascular system - heart failure, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, etc. These pathologies can lead to the appearance of a so-called cardiac cough, which is associated with the stagnation of blood in lungs. In this case, a dry, debilitating cough increases in the prone position, causes difficulty in breathing, and in severe cases can be accompanied by hemoptysis.
4. Venereal diseases - some infectious diseases, sexually transmitted infections, can manifest with a long persistent cough. In this case, attention should be paid to other possible symptoms.
5. Papillomatosis of the larynx is a disease in which single or multiple papillomas form in the larynx. There is a dry cough, the sensation of a foreign body in the throat, the hoarseness of the voice.

Severe wet cough without fever

Frequent causes of a strong wet cough without temperature are:

1. Residual effects after the transferred bronchitis, tracheitis and other inflammatory diseases of the respiratory system. This is due to the fact that it takes some time (about 2 - 3 weeks) to restore the mucosa after its defeat. Also such a symptom can be observed during recovery after exacerbation of chronic pathologies of the respiratory system.In such cases, cough tends to decrease.
2. A strong barking cough without fever can be observed with false croup. In such cases, a very thick mucus forms in the larynx, which closes the lumen of the respiratory tract. This leads to the appearance of a paroxysmal painful cough with a difficult sputum discharge, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath.
3. Tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous causes of cough. This disease can last for a long time not have other manifestations, except for a constant cough, which eventually develops into coughing attacks with sputum, sometimes with blood.
