Strong cough with phlegm without temperature

Cough without phlegm

Coughing is a reflex act, manifested by a strong exhalation, the cause of which is spasmodic contraction of the muscle tissues of the respiratory tract, which occurs as a result of the irritation of certain receptors. Often one can observe a cough with phlegm without temperature.

Such a clinical picture is not a disease, but only its defining symptomatology.

Causes of phlegm without temperature

Cough can also be called an assistant organism, because during the cough from the respiratory tract redundant sputum and foreign bodies that "clog up" the person's airways, which invariably helps in the fight against disease.

Sputum is secretion secretion, which begins to be actively developed against the background of percolation inflammatory process affecting the respiratory system, as well as with the invasion of the respiratory tract infection different etiology.

Excretion of the secretion may well be a factor in the norm, because the respiratory organs of humans constantly produce mucus (for example, a morning cough smoker), but it is likely - this is a symptom of pathological changes in the body rights. Causes of cough with phlegm without a temperature may be different, but the source of pathology is able to identify only a specialist. After all, this symptomatology can be caused by: •

• Allergic reaction of the human body to any external allergen.
• To provoke a cough with phlegm without a temperature is also capable of malfunctioning in the cardiovascular system, namely, with heart failure.
• Presence in the hollow organs that conduct air to the pulmonary alveoli, foreign bodies.
• Effects on the walls that limit the respiratory trunk, toxic substances that penetrate from the environment during inspiration.
• To bring to similar symptomatology can and venereal diseases.
• Coughing with phlegm without a temperature is capable of such bad habits as smoking. In this way, the lungs try to purify themselves of nicotine gums settling on the walls of the respiratory organs.

Acute and chronic forms of respiratory diseases of various etiologies. It can be:

• Bronchoectatic pathologies.
• Pulmonary edema.
• Tracheists.
• Pneumonia.
• Bronchitis.
• Mikoviscidosis.
• The sinusitis.
• Abscess of the lungs.
• Tuberculosis.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Anthrax spores.
• Such symptoms, manifested during sleep and in the morning, immediately after a person awakened from a dream, can show bed pliers, inhabiting, for the most part, in feathers pillows.
• Malignant tumor in the lungs.
• Pulmonary infarction.

Children and adolescents may be added to the above list and other sources that can trigger the onset of the symptom in question:

Cough with phlegm without temperature can be a sign of dryness of the room, in which the child spends a lot of time.

• As a symptomatology of invasion of parasites, such as helminths, ascarids, pinworms and others. Although to a lesser extent, this defeat can overtake an adult.
• To provoke such a cough are also capable of diseases affecting the organs of the digestive tract.
• Whooping cough can trigger such a reaction.
• Such a symptom, as it is not strange, may manifest itself as a psychological deviation.
• As the reaction of the body to any chemical product, including the means of household chemicals.
• The cause of this symptomatology may be a foreign object that has entered the respiratory system of the baby.

Symptoms of cough without phlegm

Sputum is a secretory product that is excreted from the human body together with a cough. Depending on the color and texture of the secretive secret, symptoms of coughing with phlegm without a temperature "tell" the specialist, what kind of disease the patient's body was affected. Another answer may be that there is no pathology, since the secrets of the respiratory organs are constantly generating mucus. After all, it protects the human respiratory organs from ingress of foreign substances (for example, toxic chemical compounds, dust, foreign objects), and the immune defense cells contained in it are among the first to come into conflict with pathogens that try to invade human organism.

The internal walls of the bronchi are expelled by an epithelial layer provided with cilia. It is their movement and allows you to remove mucus, cleaning the organs. A healthy organism releases about 100 ml of exudate per day, which is a small amount. Mostly it is reflexively swallowed by a person, without even noticing it.

If there is a pathologically developing process in the human body, the volumes of mucus produced are rapidly increasing, and are quite capable of reaching, liter per day. To swallow such a number is problematic, and it is not necessary, and even dangerous.

The shade of the mucus coming out, its composition and texture is also important. Exudate can be by structure:

• With blood veins.
• Vitreous mucus.
• Serous discharge, similar to serum.
• Purulent - mucous discharge.
• Just slime.

Diagnosis of cough without phlegm

There are a number of pathological diseases, with the progression of which there is a large amount of outgoing mucus. Thus the skilled expert is capable on structure and even on color of an exudate to make quite correct assumption about a disease present in an organism of the patient.

Therefore, the diagnosis of cough with phlegm without temperature begins with an evaluation of the structure of the discharge and their color. It can, of course, be that a shade of sputum is obtained by staining it with food. For example, after eating dishes that include beets or carrots. To color mucus is capable of red wine, coffee and many other products. Therefore, it is primarily to exclude this factor. But, in most cases, the shade exudates is given by the disease and the processes occurring during it are negative for the patient's health.

• For example, in the case of asthma with a cough, a clear mucus of increased density emerges.
• In the case of diagnosing pneumonia, exudate leaves a greenish-yellow or yellow hue.
• With croupous pneumonia, the color of the sputum is rusty.
• In the case of an organism affected by bronchitis or various strains of influenza, purulent mucus leaves with a cough, which is dyed greenish yellow. Blood veins may well appear.
• When a lung infarct is one of the symptoms of this pathology is an exudate of a bright red hue.
• In the case of progression of the pulmonary edema, the secretions have a foamy character, with bloody veins.
• Exudate of a yellowish-brown color is present in the symptomatology of lung abscess.
• Bronchogenic form of cancers in the lungs, notes the joint output of cough and mucus fibers of red (bloody) color.
• If a specialist observes spitting out of white flakes, he may assume that the lungs are affected by fungal forms.
• Pulmonary abscess, bronchiectasis and necrotic processes (eg, gangrene) cause the appearance of greenish sputum. Slime of this color always speaks of diseases in which a characteristic feature is the suspension of outflow. Green exudate indicates that the body is infected with an infection that has already begun its reproduction, and, consequently, the disease continues to progress. For example, tracheobronchitis begins trivially with a common trivial rhinitis. Part of the mucus flies, but some of it drains down the back wall of the pharynx. This sputum leaves the patient's body in conjunction with a cough. At the same time such discharges have a very unpleasant "aroma".

After a visual examination of the patient, the doctor prescribes an additional examination, which may include:

• Analysis of sputum for the presence of infection, bacterial and fungal damage, as well as determining the causative agent of the disease.
• Probably the appointment of radiography.
• Other specifying diagnostic procedures.

In any case, with the appearance of tangible sputum, it is not superfluous to seek advice from a specialist. And the sooner a person decides to take such a step, the sooner will dispel doubts about the reason for the appearance cough with phlegm without temperature, and, accordingly, appropriate adequate therapeutic measures. Sometimes, from how quickly the patient turned to a specialist, it depends not only on his health, but also on his life. After all, even pneumonia can pass without increasing the body's temperature.

Treatment for cough without phlegm

It should be remembered that if a person is worried about a cough, sputum goes, and the temperature indicators remain normal, you should increase the amount of liquid that a person drinks throughout the day. This approach will dilute the viscosity of mucus, which will make it easier to withdraw with a cough, clearing the airways. Independently appoint antibiotics, should not, this step can only worsen the situation.

Before starting to fix the problem, it is necessary to establish the cause correctly, only from this approach one can expect effective treatment and favorable outcome of the disease.

After setting the correct diagnosis, treatment of cough with phlegm without a temperature begins with a schedule of the treatment protocol corresponding to the established pathology. It should also determine the quality of the cough: it is wet or dry.

The treatment protocol is written out to the patient purely individually. The attending physician should not only build on a particular disease, but take into account the severity of the pathology and those changes that have already occurred in the patient's body, the patient's anamnesis and his individual features. When prescribing medications, the doctor should also take into account the pharmacodynamics of the drugs, their characteristics for interacting with others medicinal products, as well as contraindications, side effects, which can cause the prescribed drug and age data of the patient.

The patient is diagnosed with a wet cough, then it is advisable to drink plenty of liquid, which may include various herbal tinctures and decoctions. For their preparation, a medicinal natural material is used which has enveloping, expectorating, bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory characteristics, as well as such medications must effectively stop the stimulation bronchial mucosa. There are many such plants, but the most used for therapy are oregano, common ale, mother-and-stepmother, sweet potato (yellow), licorice naked (licorice smooth, licorice), chemist's daisy, thermopsis lanceolate, marshmallow medicinal, elecampane high, plantain large, sage and others.

In the absence of contraindications, such a patient is prescribed inhalation and irrigation of the nasopharynx with sodium chloride, chloride ammonium, soda solutions, sodium benzoate, as well as using extracts of plants having the above properties.

After such procedures, the irritation of the mucosa of the airways is reduced, which makes it possible to reduce the spasmodic reflex, provoking coughing attacks, the smooth muscle tissues of the lungs relax. Against the background of the work of these drugs, the viscosity of the exudate decreases, which facilitates its withdrawal. It is only necessary to know the parents of infants that steam inhalations to babies who have not yet turned a year are strictly contraindicated. Older children (up to six years), this procedure is carried out only according to the prescription of the doctor and under the vigilant attention of the health worker or parents.

If a history of a patient of any age is affected by the central nervous system, then such drugs are strictly contraindicated such drugs as thermopsis and ipecacuan. The combination of pathology and these drugs, on the contrary, increases the spasm of the smooth muscles of the bronchi, activating a cough that can even cause vomiting. The combination of a vomitive reflex and a cough can lead to asphyxia (a state of increasing choking, associated with a sharp lack of oxygen in the body) and aspiration (penetration into the respiratory tract emetic masses).

From medicamentous preparations at a cough with a sputum without temperature are appointed or nominated:

• Expectorants: bronchopam, amtersol, helicidin, Dr. Mom, mukaltin, pulmotin, sinupret, travisyl, eucalyptus Dr. Theiss and many others.

Travisil is produced on the pharmacological market in the form of absorbable tablets, syrup and lozenges. The drug is taken orally.

In the case of its administration as a syrup, travisyl is taken by adults and adolescents over the age of 12 to 5-10 ml three times throughout the day. The syrup is taken undiluted. Before the procedure, the medicine should be shaken well. The duration of the drug course is determined by the treating doctor, based on the clinical picture of the disease and the characteristics of the patient's body. The daily dosage should not exceed 30 ml.

To small patients, the age of which falls in the interval from three to twelve, the dosage is individually prescribed, - 5 ml three times a day. The daily dosage should not exceed 15 ml.

Travisil in the form of candies is prescribed for oral administration. The procedure is that the medicine is placed in the mouth, where it is kept until completely dissolved. Adult patients and adolescents over 12 years of age, the drug is prescribed two to three candies, dissolved three times a day. Children, whose age falls between three and twelve, the dosage is individually individually - two candies three times a day.

Similar dosages are also attributed to the tablet form of administration.

The drug is perfectly perceived by the body of patients, the only contraindication is the individual intolerance of the constituents of the drug.

Expectorant Sinupret is injected inside. If the medicine is prescribed in the form of a dragee, then it must be drunk without chewing, together with a sufficient volume of liquid. If sinupret in the form of drops, it should be diluted with a small amount of water.

Adult patients are given a dosage of two pills three times throughout the day. Children of school age - one dragee three times throughout the day.

Adult patients take drops in the amount of 50 drops three times during the day. Children of school age - 25 drops three times throughout the day. If the use of sinupret in the form of a dragee is not recommended until the age of twelve, then to small patients who have already turned two years, you can give the drug in question as drops - 15 drops three times throughout the day.

Duration of the drug course largely depends on the individual characteristics of the patient's body, as well as the clinical picture of the disease. Mostly this period is from one to two weeks. If after this period the pathological symptomatology does not go away, it is necessary to consult a specialist who prescribes another drug, or takes a break with a repeated course of treatment.

It is not recommended to take the drug to children under the age of two, as well as with increased sensitivity of the component components of the drug.

• Mucoregulating medications. These include ambroxol, lindoxil, ambrolitin, lasolvanum, mucosan, bromhexine, lazolvan, mucovent, acetylcysteine, Fluixol, mucosolvan, bronchoprot, secretil, ambronol, mucofar, ambrolitic, carbocysteine, viscomercil and some others. These drugs contribute to the recovery of sputum characteristics, which helps its effective elimination. Mukoreguliruyuschie drugs well normalize the amount produced by bronchial secretions of exudate.

Ambroxol is injected into the patient's body at a daily dosage of 10 mg per kilogram of patient weight divided into three to four doses. To achieve therapeutic effectiveness, it is better to take the medicine immediately after ingestion, washing down with the necessary volume of fluid.

Dosage for adult patients is - one tablet, which corresponds to 30 mg, two to three times throughout the day. The same dosage is maintained in the case of prolonged treatment.

Children and adolescents are advised to give this medication in the form of a syrup. The concentration of active substance ambroksola in 5 ml of the drug is 15 mg.

The dosage depends on the age of the small patient:

• babies who are not yet two years old - one, one ml twice a day;
• small patients, whose age falls within the age limit of two to five - per, ml three times throughout the day.
• children older than five years - 5 ml two or three doses throughout the day.

If necessary, the dosage can be doubled.

Adult patients syrup is prescribed in an amount of 10 ml - the first two - three days, then this amount can be doubled.

If the clinical picture of the disease "requires ambroxol can be prescribed to the patient both in the form of intravenous or intramuscular infusions.

• two to three ampoules are administered to adults, which corresponds to 30 to 45 mg ambroxol two to three times a day;
• to children who are not yet two years old - half the ampoule twice a day;
• to small patients, whose age falls in the age limit from two to five - half the ampoule three times during the day.
• children older than five years - one ampoule, two - three doses throughout the day.

Contraindication to the use of the drug in question is hypersensitivity to ambroxol hydrochloride or other components of the drug.

Preparations of this group enable antibiotics to leak into the secret of the bronchial tree more easily. It should only be remembered that some drugs of this group are not recommended for patients who have a history of bronchial asthma. Such a combination can only exacerbate a person's grave condition.

This group of drugs has analgesic characteristics, as well as light anesthetics.

• Mucolytic drugs normalize the production of bronchial secretions, as well as activate the process of removing excess mucus from the bronchi. The drugs of this pharmacological group include solutan, hexapnevmine, opsonin, stoptussin, transferrin, lysozyme, loraine and others.

The drug containing essential oils - hexapneumemia - in the form of tablets is taken orally. Adult patients - one tablet three times throughout the day, children who are under 15 years of age - one tablet twice a day.

In the form of syrup:

• adult patients - three to six tablespoons of fluid, divided into three doses;

Hexapneumemia is contraindicated if the patient has glaucoma, asthmatic cough, hepatic and pulmonary insufficiency, urinary retention, as well as with increased individual intolerance of the components of the drug facilities.

• If a cough with phlegm without temperature is a consequence of an allergic reaction of the body, to some external irritant, antihistamines are prescribed, such as loratadine, alerpriv, loparene, clarice, fexofenadine and others.

Antihistamine drug loratadine is prescribed for adults and adolescents, over 12 years of age, one tablet, which corresponds to 10 mg of active active, once a day. Babies who have reached the age of two, but who are under 12 years of age, are dispensed according to the weight of the body: at a weight of less than 30 kg - half the tablet; with a weight of more than 30 kg - one tablet in one time in one day.

The duration of therapy is generally 10 to 15 days, in rare cases, the treating doctor may to correct the period of taking the drug for a particular patient, and to paint from one day to one month. It is not recommended for the purpose of the drug in question if the patient's body experiences an increased sensitivity to the components of medicinal products, as well as during lactation in women and children up to a two-year age.

For young children, who still have trouble swallowing a "big" pill, the treating doctor prescribes antihistamines in the form of a syrup.

• The stabilizers of membranes of mast cells are also appointed. These drugs include: vividrin, kuzikrom, sodium kromoglikat, kromogen, intal, kromoglin, lekrolin, stadaglycin, naklrom and others.

Sodium cromoglycate, active ingredient of which is cromoglycic acid, is used in the form of inhalations. In this case, the dosage of the drug is prescribed depending on the diagnosed pathology and age of the patient.

In the case of bronchial asthma, adult patients and children who are already five years old, starting dosage One to two doses are prescribed (metered special metered aerosols), four to six inhalations throughout days.

Orally, adults and adolescents who have already reached the age of 12 can take two capsules of the drug (, g) taken four times a day 30 minutes before the proposed meal. Children from two to twelve years - one capsule (, g), taken four times a day for half an hour before the proposed meal.

Do not take the drug under hypersensitivity to the components of the drug means, including benzalkonium hydrochloride, in case of pregnancy, during lactation, children whose age has not yet reached two years.

If the result of drug treatment has not brought a therapeutic effect, and cough with phlegm without temperature does not pass, we should talk about this in the knowledge of his attending doctor, who will appoint several additional surveys capable of "shedding light" on the situation, cause.

The additional examination may include:

• General blood analysis.
• Conduct a Mantoux test.
• Biochemistry of blood (or detailed research).
• Chest radiography.
• If necessary, an investigation is made for chlamydia and mycoplasma.
• Bioanalysis of bacteriological culture is conducted on the flora of the exudate.

A very important point of the survey is to find out whether the cough was the root cause of the disease or its consequence. But it should be remembered that in any situation only an expert should make a diagnosis and prescribe a therapeutic treatment.

Preventing cough with phlegm without temperature

Nobody argues that any pathological change in the human body is much better to prevent than to go through painful procedures and a long course of treatment. Where it is more desirable for the body. Therefore, the prevention of cough with phlegm without temperature, like any disease, takes a significant place in the life of each person.

• The first point of these recommendations should be tempering the body, which should begin with the first minutes of the child's life, but if this period is missed, it is never too late to start at any time.
• Air baths.
• Cold and hot shower. For the baby, you can recommend starting with the pouring of the legs.
• It should not be wrapped up in a child, however, like an adult, in a large number of warm clothes. Many mothers, trying to protect their child, protect it from drafts, and 15 - 20 degree frost is considered an indicator of cancellation of walks. But you can give a small example: our face. After all, a stout body, we do not think that the person is quite comfortable and in such a frost, so what makes our body different from him. We do not call for the exclusion of clothes from our wardrobe, by no means, but if you do not want to constantly get sick, you should not. Both the adult and the baby should be dressed in the weather.
• In the summer, not only pleasant, but also very useful to walk barefoot on the grass, pebbles and other structures of the soil. Such procedures are not only an element of hardening, but also a massage of the human sole, which, as determined by the great ancient Chinese healers, is a great variety acupuncture points. By influencing them, it is possible to stimulate the work of the whole organism, including internal organs, while hardening will be more effective, since the foot zones activate the immune system.
• At any time of year one should spend a lot of time outdoors, communicating with nature. This relaxation is also beneficial for the nervous system, which is a possible source that can provoke the appearance of cough with phlegm without temperature.
• Get rid of bad habits. And if you have not smoked before, then you should not start.
• Avoid smoky, dusty and smoky places.
• Very carefully, carrying out all the safety rules, work with combustible and toxic materials.

In the off-season, when the risk of contracting infectious diseases increases:

• If an infected person appears in the family, it is preferable to isolate the patient as much as possible from other members of the family, having allocated his set of dishes and bath accessories.
• It is necessary to minimize visits to public places and public events.
• The nutrition of the family should be full and varied, with lots of vegetables and fruits that rich in minerals, trace elements and vitamins, so necessary for the full operation of the human organism.
• Not the last place in the prevention and occupies general hygiene. Adhering to all the rules of caring for yourself: beyond the mouth and your body, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of infectious and helminthic infection.
• In the winter-spring period, it is not superfluous to take a preventive course by drinking multivitamins.

Such measures will protect your body from many pathologies. But a cough with phlegm without temperature can be a sign and quite serious illness, so one of the points preventive measures can be called and the fact that in the occurrence of such symptoms should always appear qualified specialist. It is better if it is a false alarm, and the source of pathology is banal than to miss the development of a dangerous disease, which, the earlier it is recognized, the less effort it will take to apply it cupping.

Forecast of cough without phlegm

Predictably, a prognosis of cough with phlegm without a temperature has a favorable outcome, but only if the cause of the disease, causing such a symptomatology was established at an early stage of its development and at the same time had no serious complications, and a dangerous etiology.

For example, if the cause of a cough with such characteristics is a malignant tumor, then any prognosis can be given only by analyzing a specific clinical picture.

If the source of pathological symptoms are diseases of another genesis, then everything depends on the disease, the severity of its course, as well as the timeliness of establishing the cause of the pathology and the effectiveness of the therapy. The neglected diseases, as a rule, lead to serious complications and transformation into more dangerous diseases, which may well lead to a fatal outcome.

It would seem a banal cough, which every person has encountered. But his ignoring, especially if seizures are burdened by other symptoms, can become a threat not only to health, but also to a person's life. Cough with phlegm without temperature - this combination can be a consequence of a minor cold, but may be a signal that speaks of the development in the patient's body of a deeper and more serious pathology. Therefore, do not pay attention to the discomfort is not worth it. When such a symptom appears, it will be correct to make an appointment with a specialist. Only he is able to dispel your suspicions, or, conversely, having conducted the necessary examination, to reveal the true cause of pathological manifestations. Only after the statement of the correct diagnosis can we speak about adequate therapeutic treatment. Therefore, do not ignore the signals of your body, because timely treatment is the preserved health of your body!

A growing strong cough without fever in an adult is a sign of an infectious process, characteristic of a decrease in immunity or for elderly patients.

Paroxysmal cough paroxysms are pathognomonic for the initial stages of whooping cough, which occurs without fever, runny nose and general impairment in children and adults. Night attacks are typical for exacerbation or debut of bronchial asthma as a result of irritation of the bronchial mucosa on the background of an allergic reaction. For asthma, a typical exhalation in the presence of a normal inhalation of air, hypersecretion of viscous sputum provokes the development of a strong cough without temperature in an adult and a child.

The causes of the pathological process are:

• nonspecific inflammation (ENT organs, upper respiratory tract, bronchi, trachea, lungs);
• infection (influenza, parainfluenza, measles, SARS, whooping cough, adenovirus, cytomegalovirus);
• allergy (pollinosis, sinusitis, bronchial asthma);
• trauma (foreign bodies, damage to the esophagus);
• cardiac arrhythmia (extrasystole, vegetovascular dystonia).

Manifestation of a symptom at night on the background of a stoppage of breathing and prolonged smoking in the anamnesis is a pathognomonic clinical picture of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Bronchitis of the smoker is transformed into an irreversible form, manifestations of which is a steadily progressing cough with the development of respiratory insufficiency of various degrees of severity.

Prolonged cough in an infant is a sign of the fistula of the thoracic esophagus, through which food enters the respiratory tract, causing irritation and a protracted inflammatory process.An incessant cough in childhood is a diagnostic problem that disrupts the physiological breathing and normal development of the child.

To suspect an infectious process the doctor will allow diagnostic examination, examination of sputum and the delivery of tests. Early treatment of severe cough without fever in adults and children is done taking into account the characteristics of the cough, its duration and the overall clinical picture.

Dry and wet cough differ depending on the stage and etiology of the process. Dry cough is the initial stage of inflammatory diseases, in which coughing tremors are a reflex mechanism. A dry, violent cough develops when foreign bodies enter the body, aimed at removing it from the upper respiratory tract. A moist cough is formed as a result of increased production of serous or purulent sputum, the ingestion of which into the lungs causes the development of pneumonia.

This complication is typical for people who have weak respiratory muscles and a sedentary lifestyle.Antitussives with a dry cough are used to stop the syndrome, eliminate inflammation of the mucous membrane. The purpose of the drug with moist cough promotes the development of severe forms of pneumonia. Expectorants with a damp cough are prescribed against the background of taking antibiotics to prevent the multiplication of pathogens.

When taking medication, you need to consume large amounts of water to dilute sputum. Breastfeeding is a folk remedy for cough, used in outpatient treatment. Herbal infusion is prepared in the following way: for 200 ml of boiling water dilute two or three tablespoons. collection, and then leave to insist for one hour. Feedback on the forums indicate the high effectiveness of this method for the treatment of dry and wet cough. The infusion is used 3 times a day for 10-14 days.

Dry cough without fever in an adult: a variety and their treatment

Dry cough without fever in an adult has the following types and tactics of treatment.

Specific antiviral or antibacterial treatment is shown against the background of the use of expectorants and mokrotorazhizhayuschih drugs. The expediency of therapy is determined by the severity of the inflammatory process, in severe cases, in-patient treatment is required.

Removal of a foreign body is performed surgically or by bronchoscopy. Elimination of the cause of arrhythmia is under the control of a cardiologist, specific drugs are prescribed that stop the manifestation of extrasystole and vegetovascular dystonia.

1. Prolonged cough with phlegmis a sign of an infectious process, influenza, ARVI or pneumonia. Often accompanied by inflammation of the larynx, trachea and ENT organs. Accompanied by:
   • high temperature;
   • coryza;
   • general weakness;
   • decreased performance.
2. Prolonged cough without phlegm(dry) is typical for allergic processes, bronchial asthma or the initial stages of infection (in the presence of rashes). An unproductive cough is accompanied by a sore throat, a throat, a heaviness in the head. Antiallergic therapy reduces exacerbation in the early stages.
3. Prolonged cough without feverIs a characteristic syndrome of cardiac arrhythmia, foreign body entry to the mucosa or vocal cords. Diagnosis takes a long time, relief comes immediately after a targeted treatment, taking pills.
4. Prolonged cough with phlegm without temperatureis formed with increased mucus production, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, prolonged smoking, and work with construction dust, asbestos or cotton wool. In addition, dry cough without temperature in an adult is manifested with pulmonary tuberculosis, open or closed form, lung radiography clarifies the diagnosis.

Treatment of chronic obstruction begins with quitting smoking and taking bronchodilators short or long-acting. With the growth of fibrotic processes in the bronchi, patients are assigned enzyme preparations, as well as hormone therapy. With pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient is sent for specific therapy to the physiotherapy department of the hospital.

A prolonged cough without fever in an adult: a type of treatment

A prolonged cough without fever in an adult requires an early onset of a specific treatment after going through a wide diagnostic examination to determine the exact cause of the onset.

A blood test, sputum culture, as well as instrumental and functional research methods allow differentiate allergic and infectious diseases, foreign bodies of the upper respiratory tract and esophagus.

General treatment includes:

• to give up smoking;
• general strengthening procedures;
• enhancing the immune properties of the body;
• removal of the allergen;
• frequent wet cleaning.

Prevention of acute respiratory infections and infections is aimed at limiting contacts during the epidemic period, regular intake of immunoprophylactic drugs, and routine vaccination according to the vaccination schedule.

Mantoux reaction allows detecting tuberculosis infection at early stages, initiating early specific therapy, which significantly reduces the risk of exacerbations.

Medical treatment has the following directions:

• antiviral;
• antifungal;
• antibacterial;
• anti-inflammatory;
• antiallergic;
• bronchodilator.

Preparations for infectious and fungal diseases that have caused a prolonged cough without temperature at the adult, are selected individually by the attending physician taking into account the clinical picture and the affected organ.With severe pain on the background of coughing, an urgent start of treatment is required because of the high stress on the respiratory musculature.

With asthma and allergic pharyngitis treatment begins with anti-allergic antihistamines drugs, which are supplemented with bronchodilators to facilitate breathing and eliminate symptoms of cough. The bronchodilators work almost immediately, they are taken in the form of inhalations according to the doctor's prescription.

Folk remedies are aimed at restoring the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, reducing the production of sputum and mucus.Individual herbal infusions, such as oak bark, affect the degree of intensity of the inflammatory process, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory enzymes in the lesion.

Yellow sputum when coughing is a dangerous symptom

Cough is a symptom of a certain disease that requires immediate treatment. But, as practice shows, not always people turn in time for help to a specialist, as a result of which a large amount of mucus accumulates in the bronchi. If it is for a long time, it acquires a yellow tinge. This symptom indicates that the body is in full swing inflammatory process, which can move to other organs.

What is

By changing the color and consistency of sputum, one can judge the formation of pathological processes in the lungs. If there is clear and neobylaya sputum, then this is a clear sign of a viral disease.When it thickens and the presence of a yellow shade, it is necessary to clarify the data on the presence of bacterial infection in the lower respiratory tract.With a green shade and an unpleasant odor, stagnation of the lungs and progression of the inflammatory process are most often diagnosed. The presence of bloody veins is the first symptom of tissue decomposition in lung cancer or tuberculosis.

Without temperature

When the sputum is yellow during the cough, this is a clear sign of bronchitis (here the symptoms of purulent bronchitis are described), sinusitis (here the symptoms of purulent sinusitis are described). When a cough rarely visits the patient, but sputum is released, it is urgent to go to the clinic. Emergency help is needed when there is an impurity of blood and pus in the phlegm. After yellowness in sputum indicates the presence of pus.

Also, a cough with yellow sputum can occur in people who have a passion for smoking. The nature and shade of sputum indicates the cause of the formation of bronchitis. A yellow shade indicates that an infection has accumulated in the bronchi. Therapy of such patients should take place in a hospital at home. The scheme of treatment is determined by the doctor after the diagnosis. On the link you can read how to cure the smoker's cough.

In summary, the following diseases should be identified, during which yellow sputum is released without temperature:

• bronchitis;
• viral diseases;
• bronchial asthma;
• pulmonary edema;
• abscess of the lung;
• lung cancer.

With temperature

If, in addition to yellow sputum, the patient still has a temperature rise, then this is a clear symptom of diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis. The temperature can also rise with the diseases mentioned above. If the indicators are not significant (up to 38 degrees), then panic early. When for a long time the temperature is above 38 degrees, and yellow sputum leaves, this is the reason for going to the doctor.

To accurately determine the nature of the inflammatory process, it is necessary to conduct a laboratory study. For these purposes, the patient surrenders his sputum, and the specialist studies it by microscopic and macroscopic methods.To conduct this analysis, you need to collect phlegm in the morning, but do not eat anything before that.Otherwise, you will not get the exact result. To ensure a minimum content of saliva, the patient must rinse the mouth with an antiseptic solution and boiled water. After this, collect the mucus in a special tank. If mucus is released in a small volume during the analysis, the patient is prescribed irritating inhalation. Here you can read more about inhalations with wet cough in children.

Get the most accurate information and the nature of yellow mucus can be with the help of bronchoscopy. It is carried out in a hospital setting. Thanks to this, it is possible to thoroughly examine the bronchi and trachea using special equipment. During this manipulation, mucus is obtained without the impurities of the bacteria of the mouth and saliva. For special cases it is necessary to conduct a thorough diagnosis.

Therapeutic events

Treatment for cough with yellow sputum requires immediate treatment. The treatment regimen is made individually, taking into account the diagnostic results. As a rule, necessarily therapy presupposes expectorants that allow to clear lungs.

In the video - tells about the yellow sputum when coughing:

Mucolytics are used to dissolve mucus. Antibiotics are to be combated with a bacterial infection.
Thanks to mucolytics, which does not increase the amount of sputum, it is possible to dilute it and cleanse the lungs. Presented medications are prescribed for the treatment of bronchial asthma, bronchial inflammation, cystic fibrosis and other ailments of an inflammatory nature.

Expectorant medications help to excrete sputum from the upper respiratory tract, and also activate a cough reflex. To such preparations it is possible to carry:

• Trypsin,
• Theropsis
• Sodium benzonate.

But do not self-treat these medicines. They are appointed by the doctor taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.

To expand the bronchial tubes and mucus is easy to use it is necessary to use medications that increase the patency of the bronchi.

Eliminate the inflammatory process of the respiratory tract, one of the manifestations of which is yellow mucus, use antibiotics with a narrowly directed effect. Also in the process you can use medicines of a broad spectrum of antibacterial action.

One symptomatic therapy will not be enough, so it is absolutely necessary to carry out therapeutic measures aimed at treating the underlying ailment.

To facilitate the process of cleaning the lungs, you need to apply as much fluid as possible, moisten the air in the house, using a special device, to rest more.Such measures will improve the removal of yellow sputum and clear lungs and bronchi. If you began to worry about a fit of cough, then take a direct position. Thus, the lungs will be enlarged, and sputum will be better separated.

The video tells what it means if a dense yellow green sputum is released during coughing and the means of combating the disease are described:

To protect your body from the development of a disease that contributes to the formation of yellow sputum, you need protect your lungs from getting a different infection, you need to clean them with a special gymnastics. The complex of exercises should be compiled by your attending physician when he conducts an examination and examines the information obtained during the diagnosis. Perform the composed breathing exercises every day for 15-20 minutes.

Sputum yellow color may indicate a certain allergic reaction. In this case, the patient must take antihistamines and drugs to stabilize the membranes of mast cells. When swelling of the lungs, it is necessary to take diuretics and medications that reduce the foaminess of the sputum.

Yellow mucus is a very dangerous symptom, which indicates that the disease begins to progress. If you do not take medical measures in time, then it can end as a dangerous disease, like lung cancer. If you find the very first symptom of the disease you need to go to the clinic and undergo the necessary diagnostics. Perhaps, it will also be useful for you to know what medicines are taken with chronic bronchitis, how quickly to get rid of the common cold with folk remedies.

What can cause a violent cough without fever?

A prolonged severe cough without fever is common enough. Many do not attach importance to easy coughing and do not seek medical help. Someone completely ignores the unpleasant phenomenon, believing that it will disappear by itself with time. Others are trying to cure malaise with folk remedies against coughing or buying medicines on the advice of acquaintances.

Self-medication, like ignoring the disease, can be dangerous to health, because a constant cough can be a sign of a serious illness. Improperly selected medications can worsen a patient's condition. Non-cured diseases often become chronic or provoke the development of other pathologies.

What is a cough

Coughing is a reflex reaction of the body to various stimuli in the organs of the respiratory system. It performs a protective and purifying function. With its help, the body is released from foreign bodies that get into the respiratory tract, as well as from substances that irritate the respiratory system. Cough reflex helps to get rid of pathogens and the products of infection control with the body's defenses. Thanks to this reaction, the body maintains optimal conditions for the healthy life of the respiratory system. Therefore, the treatment of many types of cough is aimed at its effectiveness, not suppression.

But coughing can have a nervous nature. It occurs due to diseases of the human nervous system, and not as a result of external effects on the respiratory system.

Cough is of two kinds: dry and wet. If the mucous membranes of the respiratory organs are dry and hot, then the cough reflex will be dry. He does not bring relief. Often, it irritates the mucous membranes and can be painful and unpleasant.

A wet cough occurs when the reflex reaction is accompanied by a sputum discharge. He usually brings relief, but in some cases a wet cough can be very deep. Coughing becomes harder. Sometimes there is a feeling of lack of air.

If the inflammation of the respiratory system is caused by infection, a cough reflex may appear against the background of an increase in body temperature. However, it often appears non-heat.

There are several reasons for the occurrence of a cough without temperature.

Cough without fever on the background of an infectious disease

Inflammatory process, caused by various types of pathogens, can occur without an increase in body temperature.Such a course of an infectious disease can be caused by a reduced immunity of the sick person. In such cases, a deep cough can be observed. Weak resistance of the body allows infection to penetrate into the upper respiratory tract, into the bronchi and further into the lungs. A person with healthy immunity would have a high body temperature in this condition. But a weak immune response makes a person vulnerable to disease. If the disease is not treated, then the patient's condition will rapidly deteriorate.

Strong immunity can effectively fight infection at the stage of infection. The infected person shows signs of a disease (for example, cough and runny nose), but the body temperature does not increase. If you ignore such a state, then the immune forces may not be enough to successfully overcome the infection. If you lead a normal lifestyle and load the body with the usual daily loads, the infection will be able to cause an inflammatory process. In addition, a bacterial infection may be added to the viral infection.

A prolonged cough without fever can be a consequence of a viral disease that has been transferred, when an acute inflammatory process has passed into a chronic condition. Dry, irritating the mucous membrane of the throat, cough is characteristic of chronic atrophic pharyngitis. Cough reflex with sputum may be a sign of chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis.

After suffering an acute respiratory viral disease, coughing can be observed for a while as a residual phenomenon.

A prolonged dry cough without a rise or with a slight increase in temperature can be a sign of the defeat of the body by a tuberculous infection. This symptom is characteristic for tubercular bronchoadenitis and the initial stage of focal pulmonary tuberculosis.

Allergic nature

Cough without fever occurs with various allergic diseases.

Cough reflex can appear due to the ingress of substances - allergens - onto the mucous membrane of the respiratory organs. For example, pollen from plants, spores of fungi or poplar fluff. Such a cough is usually dry and shallow. It can be observed as a slight cough, and attacks of an uncontrollable cough, during which the patient suffocates. For an allergic cough, the symptoms disappear after the removal of the irritant substance. It instantly disappears or becomes less obvious after taking antihistamines.

Asthma as one of the reasons

Asthma is a chronic lung disease, which causes inflammation and swelling of the airways. Asthmatics suffer from coughing attacks, especially at night. During an attack there is a hoarse or labored breathing, mucus is formed. A cough attack can trigger a physical load, a pungent smell or cold air. Aggravation of the disease also causes various substances - allergens. Before the attack, the patient may feel itching in the chin, chest or neck. In the development of the disease, heredity, as well as occupational and environmental factors play an important role. Recent studies have confirmed the impact of household chemicals on the development of this disease.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a disease in which an irreversible airflow restriction occurs in the respiratory tract. There is no increase in body temperature. This condition progresses steadily and is accompanied by an inflammatory response of the lungs. The disease appears due to the constant exposure of irritants to respiratory organs of pathogenic particles or gases. In response to the stimulus in the lungs, the number of cells that produce a mucous secret is intensively increased. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often suffers from smokers with a long history - more than forty-five years. Therefore, this ailment is often called a smoker's illness. They have too much sputum, which can go unnoticed, as tobacco smoke paralyzes the cilia of the bronchi that help to move the sputum. Therefore, heavy smokers often deafeningly cough in the morning with the release of sputum. But after the first puffs, the cough reflex ceases. If a smoker can not live without a morning cigarette, this is a sign of the development of pathology in his respiratory system.

Over time, a more severe condition develops, in which the patient can not exhale air from the lungs due to the narrowing of the lumen of the bronchi.

Cough as a side effect

A non-temperature cough may occur as a result of prolonged use of medications for treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system and hypertension - ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme). The side effect of such therapy can be a cough reflex. About a fifth of patients who take such drugs develop a dry cough.

Long-term administration of drops to treat the common cold can provoke a cough reflex. In this case, usually observed catarrhal phenomena - a slight reddening of the throat and a sensation of tickling in the throat.

Other reasons

Gastroesophageal reflux disease can be accompanied by a cough without temperature. This disease of the esophagus and stomach, in which gastric acid enters the esophagus due to the weakness of the valve. Together with heartburn, coughing, wheezing, and chest pain may occur.

Contaminated air causes coughing attacks. Thus, the body tries to get rid of foreign particles that are in the air.

Long exposure to vapors and gases can lead to sputum and irritation of the lungs. The same effect can cause mold spores. Contaminated air often provokes allergic reactions or an attack of asthma.

Neurogenic cough occurs against the background of a nervous system. Usually it is a dry, sonorous cough reflex, intensifying in stressful situations. In a calm state and during sleep, he usually does not bother the person.

Oncological diseases

Chronic cough without fever is often a sign of the development of a malignant tumor in the respiratory system. Cough of the oncological nature has its own characteristics, although it is very similar to the usual cough reflex. It is characterized by great intensity and gradually changes its character. In the first stages of the disease, coughing is usually dry and painful. In the course of time, sputum appears. At first it is simply mucous, then purulent-mucous. In late stages, sputum is purulent-mucous. The oncological cough reflex does not respond to standard therapy. Call it can malignant tumors that have arisen in different tissues of the respiratory system.

Treatment of cough

If a cough without fever has recently appeared and is accompanied by a runny nose, it may be the result of the action of viruses. In this case, you must comply with bed rest. It is not recommended to visit the team in order not to spread the infection and not to burden the body in addition. An easy disease will pass by itself or with the help of folk remedies - tea with kalina, radish juice and herbal remedies. If the cough does not disappear more than two weeks, you need to visit a doctor. It is especially dangerous to ignore the best-temperature cough in children. The development of diseases in children is rapid.

A long-term, non-vanishing cough reflex, not accompanied by fever, is an alarming sign. Especially if a strong cough is accompanied by a discharge of sputum with blood veins and pain. To delay with a visit to the doctor is strictly not recommended.

Before you start cough treatment, you need to find out the reason for its appearance. Many diseases have similar symptoms, but they have completely different nature. A diagnosis error can have fatal consequences.

Causes of dry cough without fever in adults

In our time it is difficult to find an adult or a child who would not cough at least once a day. Zagazovannost large cities and megacities, harmful emissions of industrial enterprises, a lot of different infections - living in a city about clean air can only dream of.

The human respiratory system is so arranged that when penetrating into the bronchi and lungs of infectious agents, allergens, dust, etc., due to irritation of the respiratory tract receptors, a cough occurs.

With its help, the tracheobronchial tree is cleansed of external and internal irritating agents, such as pus, mucus, sputum, blood or from foreign bodies - pollen, dust, food particles. The role of the cough is to prevent mechanical obstructions and cleanse the respiratory tract from sputum or other substances.

When a person has caught a cold and contracted a viral respiratory disease - the clinical picture is clear, the person rises high fever, runny nose, cough, tear, weakness and other symptoms of intoxication, characteristic of these diseases. In these cases, the cause of dry cough is clear. And how to understand why there is a cough without temperature in an adult or a child?

Many believe that cough is caused only by respiratory diseases, however, a prolonged dry cough may be a symptom of such serious diseases like heart failure, oncological diseases of the mediastinal organs, certain diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, sinusitis, sinusitis. The table below shows the symptoms and diagnosis of certain diseases that are characterized by a dry cough without fever or with a temperature of 37 ° C.

Cough and runny nose without fever

• With colds

may cause catarrh of the upper respiratory tract, runny nose, cough without body temperature or 37-3,. With such types of Orvy, the throat may not bother, but a common cold, cough without fever is characteristic. If the cough does not go away within 3 weeks after the onset of SARS, you should consult a therapist.

• Allergic reaction

on various flowering plants in an apartment or on the street, an allergy to dust is also accompanied by a dry non-productive cough, an allergy to pet hair, pet food or animal care products, a similar reaction is possible for perfumery and cosmetic products facilities.

Even in carpets and bedding there are a lot of allergens, which can be inadequate reaction of the body, which is expressed by dry cough and runny nose without temperature. Also, the massive use of various household chemicals, unsafe detergent powders with surfactants over 35% all this can affect the state of the respiratory system and manifest as a cough and runny nose without temperature.

• Post-infection cough

after acute infectious or viral inflammation of the respiratory tract cough with perspiration, coughing, feeling tickling or agitation, can last up to 3 weeks, and just unpleasant sensations and a rare coughing is possible before, months.

Dry prolonged cough without fever

• Stress

Stressful situations, nervous shocks, experiences can provoke a dry cough - this is called psychogenic cough, when a person worries, gets lost or embarrassed, he can cough up.

• Also, for a long time in a room with dry, dusty air, irritation in the respiratory tract may appear.
• Oncological diseases

If a prolonged severe dry cough without fever lasts more than a month, you should consult a therapist, pulmonologist, allergist, oncologist, phthisiatrist for the passage of a thorough diagnosis, since the diseases that cause incessant cough are very many - tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchial cancer, trachea, throat.

• Heart Disease

Cardiac cough should be distinguished, for example, from the cough of a smoker or a bronchial cough. Such a cough occurs after physical activity and there is no sputum, however, sometimes with acute cardiac disease, bloody discharge after a dry cough is possible. This is due to the malfunctioning of the left ventricle, when the lungs are stagnant blood and its secretion with a cough. The person besides the cough is disturbed also by palpitation, and a short wind, and pains in the field of heart and so forth.

• Chronic diseases of ENT organs

often with chronic diseases of the nasopharynx, such as sinusitis, frontalitis, sinusitis due to the flow of mucus from the nose along the back wall of the throat, there may be a cough without temperature, it is concomitant and not associated with lower respiratory ways.

• Tuberculosis

a prolonged dry cough, a temperature of 37-3, indicates a possible tuberculous process in the lungs or bronchi. To date, the situation of tuberculosis is very tense, even among people of high social status, the development of this formidable disease, persistent stressful situations, overfatigue, inadequate rest reduce the defenses of the body and since 90% of the population by the age of 30 is infected with a stick of Koch, provoking factors can lead to the activation of the mycobacterium in organism.

• Thyroid gland diseases

with a nodular or diffuse increase in the thyroid gland, pressure on the trachea occurs, causing a dry cough without temperature in adults.

• Some diseases of the digestive tract

can also cause a dry cough without fever, a reflex cough after eating in the case of an esophageal-tracheal fistula, reflux esophagitis, and esophageal diverticulum.

• If foreign matter enters the respiratory tract.

When you cough, phlegm with blood

The appearance of blood in the sputum can be associated with various human pathologies. Determine the exact cause of this condition can only a doctor. In any case, coughing with sputum and blood requires a visit to a specialist who will prescribe a course of diagnostic measures. Treatment of a cough with blood is prescribed by a doctor depending on the established cause of such a phenomenon.

Sputum with blood when coughing is a serious symptom

About the presence of blood in the sputum may speak veins of a reddish or rusty hue. Single such veins usually appear when a small vessel is ruptured in the lungs. In this case there is no threat to life and health. But the appearance of well-distinguishable blood in sputum when coughing is a serious sign that can testify about tuberculosis, tumor processes in the lungs, inflammations and other severe diseases.

Sometimes the presence of blood in the sputum is associated with a history of chronic bronchitis. However, this is incorrect, since this pathology can not lead to the appearance of such symptoms.

Causes of cough with phlegm and blood

Blood in sputum when coughing in most cases - a sign of damage to the respiratory system. Such a symptom can be accompanied by various serious pathologies that pose a threat to human life and health. Causes of coughing with phlegm and blood can be several, the main ones are as follows:

1. Lungs' cancer. This disease in most cases is detected in people who have a coughing with blood for a long time. When tumor processes in the lungs in the sputum may appear scarlet blood veins. Other symptoms of this pathology are a significant decrease in weight, pain in the chest, shortness of breath, lack of oxygen, prolonged painful cough, severe night sweats and other. The most susceptible to this disease are people who smoke for a long time, as well as working in the production with constant air pollution, for example, in the cement industry.
2. Bronchitis of acute form. With a strong cough in sputum, small single blood veins may appear. In addition, bronchitis is characterized by symptoms such as fever, weakness, severe cough with sputum, sometimes purulent, shortness of breath, and others.
3. Abscesses of the lungs, which are the formation of lung cavities filled with purulent contents in the lung tissue. Usually an abscess develops in people with a weakened immune system. Signs of this disease are chest pains, fever, prolonged time, bouts of night sweats, general malaise, disturbance of normal sleep and appetite, and cough, in which a large amount of sputum is produced with the presence of pus and blood veins.
4. Bronchoectatic disease. With this pathology, weakness, dyspnea, a rise in temperature is possible. It is accompanied by a prolonged frequent cough with the separation of purulent sputum with blood.
5. Inflammation of the lungs, or pneumonia. Typical symptoms of the disease are chest pain, a significant increase in temperature, a strong dyspnea, a sharp recurrent cough, in which a large amount of sputum with a trace of fresh blood. The color of the sputum itself can be "rusty" because of the coagulated blood.
6. Tuberculosis. It is manifested by a decrease in body weight, deterioration of appetite, a constant slight increase in temperature approximately up to 3, degrees, constant attacks of cough with sputum discharge, in which pus and veins may be present blood. The appearance of a large amount of fresh blood in sputum during coughing is an unfavorable diagnostic sign.
7. Embolism of the pulmonary artery. With embolism, the lumen of the pulmonary artery ligates. To the development of this pathology more slopes people after surgical operations, such as treatment of thrombophlebitis of the veins of the legs. Signs of the disease becomes dyspnoea, suddenly there are severe pain in the space behind the sternum, a cough with blood occurs a few hours after the first symptoms.
8. Damage and pathology of the development of the heart valves and other similar heart diseases. With such diseases, normal blood circulation is disrupted, which leads to stagnant phenomena in the lungs. Symptoms of heart pathologies are severe dyspnoea, which increases with physical activity, and cough with phlegm and traces of blood.
9. Cystic fibrosis. This pathology is characterized by a change in the functioning of the glands and is transmitted by inheritance. Respiratory cystic fibrosis, accompanied by a defeat of the respiratory system, manifests itself with symptoms such as cough with separation of thick sputum, in which is pus and blood veins, often occurring colds, while the infection quickly descends to the lower respiratory system.
10. External factors. Coughing up with the blood can occur after some diagnostic measures, for example, biopsy, bronchoscopy, operations on the organs of the chest. There may be traces of blood in the sputum after taking certain medications.
11. Pathology of the digestive system. This is a rare case when vomiting with blood or bleeding in the area of ​​the esophagus, stomach or upper intestine is taken for the isolation of blood from the lungs. With diseases of the digestive tract, blood comes out, as a rule, in the form of clots, in large numbers, and its color is dark red.

Diagnosis of cough with blood sputum

Blood in sputum when coughing often indicates serious pathology, so in such cases, you should consult a doctor. For diagnostic purposes, the following measures can be taken:

1. Bronchoscopy. With her help, you can identify bronchiectasis, lung tumors and other pathologies. This examination consists in examining the bronchi to determine changes in their walls, narrowing of the lumen and other injuries.
2. Radiography of the chest. At its carrying out it is possible to estimate a condition of heart and lungs. Darkening in the lung area suggests the presence of embolism of the lung arteries, cancer or inflammatory processes.
3. CT scan. This type of examination in detail shows the nature of changes in the tissues of the lungs. With its help it is possible to diagnose tuberculosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis, abscess and other pathologies.
4. Sputum analysis. Identifies the presence and number of pathogens in the bronchi, such as Koch sticks causing tuberculosis. In addition, sputum examination helps to detect pneumonia, abscess and other diseases.
5. Analysis of sweat. With its help, there is a violation in the body of chlorine metabolism, characteristic of cystic fibrosis.
6. General blood analysis. This examination shows the presence of inflammatory processes in the body.
7. Coagulogram, it is a study of blood coagulability.
8. ECG. It is carried out on suspicion that the cause of a cough with bloody sputum is heart disease.
9. FEGDS. With it, the upper organs of the digestive system are examined. Such a study is necessary to exclude the pathology of the digestive system.

Cough with blood in sputum

In any case, if signs of blood are found in the sputum, it is necessary to consult a doctor for diagnosis. The specialist, after conducting the required studies, will be able to prescribe cough treatment with sputum and blood, aimed primarily at getting rid of the underlying disease. If more than a year has passed since the last radiographic examination of the lungs, then it is necessary to pass this study.

Urgently seek medical help should be in the following cases:

• the patient has a strong cough with abundant sputum and blood and liquid and clots;
• Coughing up with blood appears suddenly and is accompanied by a feeling of suffocation and pain in the chest;
• Coughing up with blood occurs after a fall or injury.

• antitussive;
• softening;
• liquefying phlegm;
• expectorant;
• distractions.

A strong cough and sputum with blood

With a strong cough and sputum with blood caused by infectious diseases of the respiratory organs, expectorants and thinners are usually prescribed. Representatives of this group are licorice root, pork collection, ATSTS, Lazolvan and others. For the same purpose, inhalations with medicinal plants can be used.

For the removal of spasms of the bronchi, salbutamol, its derivatives and analogues are used. Among other things, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and other agents are prescribed if necessary.

In cases of severe bleeding, when sputum is colored red, surgical intervention is often required. This condition indicates severe bronchial injuries.

Temperature, cough, sputum with blood

High fever, sputum with blood and cough, and shortness of breath and chest pain are all typical symptoms of influenza pneumonia. Such a disease develops, about a week after the onset of the flu. The nature of the inflammation, as a rule, is mixed bacterial-viral. The temperature can rise to 40 degrees or higher, signs of intoxication, shortness of breath, severe pain in the chest, attacks of painful coughing with sputum discharge with blood and pus are noted. If you suspect a disease, you should always contact a specialist. Otherwise, it is possible to develop complications such as pulmonary edema, acute heart failure, tracheobronchitis of the ulcerous-hemorrhagic type, abscesses. The consequence of such pathologies can become serious harm to health, and even the death of the patient.

Strong cough at night without fever

Cough is a protective reaction of the body, designed to clean the respiratory tract from foreign bodies. Sometimes a cough may be worse at night during sleep. This cough is one of the most unpleasant, since it completely deprives the patient of the strength, preventing the body from recovering during sleep, and also causes discomfort to those around it. A strong cough at night without temperature occurs because during sleep we are in a horizontal position, which significantly affects the effectiveness of cough. In the respiratory organs sputum accumulates, which does not have time to resolve, since at night all processes in the body are not as active as during the day it leads to attacks of nocturnal cough without temperature. Do not forget that a strong cough at night without temperature is also a symptom of a number of respiratory diseases.

Cough at night is very common and can not disturb you at all during the day. But with the onset of night cough begins at a time when you fall asleep and do not control the body. It lasts for 3-4 minutes and repeats every couple of hours during sleep. There are following reasons for this:

• Inhalation of foreign bodies. This problem is particularly relevant for children.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux. During the horizontal position of our body, the acidic contents of the stomach enter the pharynx and irritate the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, thereby provoking a fit of strong cough at night without temperature.
• The air is in the place where you sleep. Too cold or dry air irritates the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract, which can easily provoke a reflex attack.

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.
