Than to treat a dry cough at the adult and what to apply thus medicines, it is specified in given article.

One should understand the main axiom: children suffer from even the most good and responsible parents. Instead of lamenting and blaming yourself for what happened, it is better to take measures in time and provide the baby with all possible conditions for a speedy recovery.

Prevention of diseases can be called the following measures:

• Regular airing and humidification of air. The main guarantee of good health by Komarovsky's methods is precisely the constant access of fresh air to the room.
• Absence of strong allergens in the house. It is desirable to avoid the accumulation of soft toys, down pillows of a hundred years ago, wall carpets and other sources of dust. It is not necessary to turn an apartment into an animal nursery, even wool from an innocuous guinea pig can provoke the strongest allergy.
• Do not heat the room with heaters or block the room. With enough cool and moisturized air, the baby will be able to breathe and cough more easily.

Barking dry cough: basic symptomatology, peculiarities of leaking and treatment

As a rule, catarrhal diseases in most cases are accompanied by a cough, which can have a different character. Most unpleasant, even painful sensations, the patient brings barking dry cough. This term means a sharp cough without spitting. It carries such a name, because it resembles the sound of barking.

Causes of the disease

Most often, the appearance of a sharp dry cough is caused by the inflammatory processes in the larynx. Usually it develops against the background of laryngotracheitis, or croup, as it is still called in medicine. Laryngotracheitis is an inflammation and puffiness of the mucosa around the larynx. With severe swelling, the patient's breathing may deteriorate. Especially from barking cough the children suffer greatly, which is caused by the underdeveloped respiratory system.Moreover, its course becomes very dangerous not only for health, but for the life of the child, because it can cause blockage or blockage of the airways.The cause of development barking cough may be diphtheria or inflammation of the epiglottis. Also in medicine there are frequent cases when barking type of cough occurs in the usual cold.

The main symptomatology

Knowing the main symptoms of the disease, when it occurs, you can promptly help the patient and accelerate the process of recovery. In patients with a dry type of cough, the following symptoms are observed:

• hoarseness of voice;
• dyspnea;
• elevated temperature;
• suffocation;
• a sore throat;
• a sharp cough.

The slowness of the voice in a sick adult or child appears as a result of swelling of the vocal cords. For the same reason, wheezing and wheezing often occur. The face usually acquires a pale color. After a while, usually it occurs a day after the first signs of the disease, the temperature rises. It should be noted that barking cough develops rapidly rapidly, intensifying and delivering a lot of painful sensations. Suffocation occurs as a result of the accumulation of large amounts of sputum in the respiratory tract.

Concomitant symptoms are also often the appearance of lymph nodes, fever, runny nose, nausea and vomiting. In some cases, such signs of ailment as deterioration of appetite, diarrhea, bad breath, fatigue are observed.

Possible complications

A dry, violent cough can cause inflammatory processes in the body that are dangerous to human life. That's why experts recommend that if you find at least one of the characteristic symptoms for this disease, seek medical help. Only an accurate diagnosis will allow the doctor to take the necessary measures aimed at improving the patient's health.

In an adult or a child, serious and dangerous complications such as respiratory arrest, development of respiratory failure, and occlusion of the respiratory tract can occur in the course of the disease.

Features of the course of the disease in children

For a child, cough of this type is a much greater danger than for adults. This circumstance is caused by the narrowness of the airways in childhood. If there is swelling in the larynx, the mucous membrane becomes so swollen that it can close the flow of air into the lungs, which inevitably leads to suffocation.

Considering the fact that it is in the child's body that all inflammatory processes occur faster, hence - barking dry cough should be treated systematically and regularly, without missing medication or performing certain procedures.

The complexity of the disease in the child also lies in the fact that children, especially those under the age of one, are not able to cough themselves up on their own, because they can not yet have an active cough. This is the reason that infants often begin to choke with accumulated mucus.

The underdeveloped respiratory musculature of newborns is caused by the lack of the ability to exercise strong coughing thrusts, and, consequently, to clear throat normally.In this regard, the child often can vomit, because the mucus that accumulates in the nasopharynx, has an effect on the vomiting receptors. But at the same time this vomiting reflex is also a protection for the body, allowing you to remove the formed fluid and mucus.

Parents should be aware that the occurrence of dry cough in children in the morning, provided that it is not accompanied by other symptoms of the common cold, is not an indicator of pathology. After all, this process allows you to clean the upper respiratory tract of the baby.

Diseases accompanied by cough

Dry type of cough can occur not only with croup, but also is a sign of other diseases:

1. Laryngitis- an infectious disease that accompanies a strong "barking" sound, issued by the patient. Children have subfebrile temperature and hoarseness.
2. Whooping cough- a disease characterized by bouts of severe spasmodic cough with a subsequent whistle - a reprise.
3. Measles- at the initial stage of the development of the disease, dry cough may occur and the temperature may rise.
4. Laringotraheobronchitis- a very dangerous disease, for which characteristic is shortness of breath and coughing attacks, are caused by puffiness of the larynx and obstruction of the airways.
5. Allergy- dry appearance of cough often occurs with allergic manifestations. The child may also experience lacrimation, runny nose or nasal congestion, sneezing.
6. Tracheitis, pharyngitis- the main symptoms in these diseases is barking sound.

First aid

Hearing the dry type of cough in children, it is necessary to take measures to alleviate their condition even before the arrival of a doctor. Parents should adhere to such recommendations:

• Ensure that the child is in an upright position;
• fill the bathroom with steam and stay in it with the child;

Cough in adults: types, causes of seizures

Cough without a cause in adults can not appear. This reflex action occurs against a background of various ailments. A forced act is a very important symptom, which has many varieties. It can start suddenly and resemble an attack. There are other types of cough in adults, for example, its sound can be barking, wheezing, hoarse. Very important is the color and consistency of the mucus, whether it exists at all. Analyzing these and other visible signs, the doctor can make a preliminary diagnosis. It is possible to find out exactly which ailment caused the appearance of a reflex action in a person, only after receiving the results of a biochemical analysis of blood, sputum and urine.

Types of cough in adults

The doctors have developed a clear structure for the questionnaire of a sick person, so that a specialist can collect an accurate history of the disease within a few minutes. In the survey, a significant role is assigned to what sounds are heard when coughing in an adult, to the sensations that he experiences with a reflex act. Similarly, a specialist is necessarily interested in the duration of involuntary action, whether there are concomitant visible manifestations, such as a runny nose, dyspnea. When exactly forced exhalation occurs, for example, an adult cough is present only during the day, after sleeping, in the mornings or at night. The fact that different manifestations of the reflex act can signal the development of ailments of the cardiovascular system, lung damage, the development of asthma. Therefore, in diagnostics, even the smallest detail plays an important role.

Barking cough in adults

The cause of the reflex act, in this case, is a severe swelling of the larynx. Because of this, the lumen in it is significantly narrowed. This kind of involuntary action is also called tracheal. In an adult human laryngeal edema can be triggered by various causes, among the most common factors need to be distinguished:

• Effects of allergens. In this case, a sudden attack is recorded, which can result in diarrhea (in old age), vomiting.
• Streptococcal infection. As a rule, in this case the organism should be strongly weakened by any general chronic disease, for example, diabetes, cachexia, etc.
• Viral infections. It can be influenza, ARVI, ARI, etc.

Barking reflex act is very dangerous, because in severe cases it can result in loss of consciousness due to sensation of suffocation. A person with this condition can not completely produce a coughing process. Inhalation is not complete, and exhalation is accompanied by a strong suffocating cough. As a rule, the voice at this moment is quiet and hoarse.

Cough in adults with allergies

A suffocating reflex act, which has a paroxysmal character, is typical for the manifestation of an allergic or infectious-allergic reaction to stimuli. This involuntary action occurs in people with asthma. A feature of coughing in adults with allergies is that it can have a different character. The duration of the reflex action can also be different. Most often, a cough in an adult is accompanied by snot, suffocation, redness of the eyelids, edema of the larynx. The debilitating reflex act, passing with whistles and wheezing, can speak about the development of bronchitis. It is worth noting that in some cases, such a reaction with an allergy may not end immediately after the removal of the allergen, but last for weeks and even months.

Cough in adults after pneumonia and ARVI

There are following reasons for the onset of a reflex act in pneumonia: viruses, bacteria, ornithosis, fungi, intracellular bacteria, parasites, etc. The difficulty in diagnosing this disease lies in the fact that only the complete biochemical analysis of sputum and X-rays, which is done without fail, gives an accurate result. It is necessary to conduct a survey, since each type of pneumonia is treated only by a certain group of antibiotics.

Often doctors fix the situation when, after completing the full course of treatment, a person continues involuntary acts for several weeks. A deaf cough is quite normal, which is triggered by the use of mucolytoks in the process of treatment. In the event that the reflex action is suffocating, it is necessary to ask for help from a doctor, as, most likely, it is a relapse of pneumonia or ARVI. The reasons for the fact that a new stage in the development of the disease began, there may be several. First, failure to comply with the prescription of the doctor, that is, the refusal to take medication or bed rest. Secondly, the wrong definition of the cause of pneumonia, and, consequently, the appointment of the wrong group of antibiotics.

Causeless cough in adults

As a rule, the reason for the appearance of an incomprehensible reflex act, the beginning of which has no real explanation (no temperature, all tests are normal), is a nervous shock or overexcitation. Most often, such a cough in adults is recorded before any important events. If the causeless involuntary action is debilitating and lasts for several months, then the source of trouble is a depressive state, a depressing feeling of guilt for anything.
