COUGH

Source

Cough is the act of pushing air from the lungs quickly and noisily. Cough is a disease that is highly communicable. Communicable diseases are illness that are caused by bacteria and can spread easily from one person to another through contact with contaminated things or through air. Cough is not the only communicable disease so other communicable diseases are; chickenpox, pink eye, rabies, measles, scabies, etc.

Having cough for more than one month is not normal, please incase your cough persists for over a month do well to seek medical care. A normal cough is suppose to clear off within two to three weeks interval without taking any treatment.

What can be the possibilities of getting different health complexities if a cough is untreatable after medications of one month?

A cough is considered chronic, that is complex if it persists for seven to eight weeks. When you have a serious case of cough, don't just go a pharmacist to prescribe drugs without carrying out tests on you, this may make it seems like the cough is untreatable after taking drugs and the cough doesn't go.

Sometimes a chronic cough can be difficult to treat plus coughing frequently comes with its own problems like causing you to have more health problems like

1. Not being able to sleep well.
2. Headaches.
3. Makes you so uncomfortable.
4. Hoarseness. Etc.

CAUSES OF CHRONIC COUGH

Possible causes of a persistent cough could be:
✅Heart failure
✅Asthma
✅Environmental triggers, like recurrent exposure to dust or smoke
✅Interstitial lung disease
✅Smoking or vaping (smoker's cough)
✅Vocal cord dysfunction

TREATING PROLONGED COUGH

The most important step in treating a chronic cough is identifying the cause or the health condition that is causing it, hence you have to go to the clinic to run some tests which will enable the doctor detect the real cause of the cough and from there the doctor will recommend the right drugs for you to take. And you will see that after taking the right medications, the cough will disappear. It is just a simple step of reviewing the medications you're taking and making a substitution base on the test results.

Have you ever suffered from prolonged cough?

I have never had a prolonged cough before but my brother had experienced this kind of cough when we were younger. His own was caused by an environmental triggers. It was during summer holiday when he travelled to my aunt's place to spend the holiday. When he got back he had this cough that my mum just got a normal cough medicine from the pharmacy which did not work. It was after my parents took him to the hospital for proper check up and care that the cough subsided.
