Why does the recent climate cause many people to cough? Please help me.

Since the beginning of autumn, although the weather in our city is still hot recently, it has become a little cooler in the morning and evening, and the coughing in the ears has gradually increased. Liu Gang, deputy chief physician of the Respiratory Department of Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, told reporters that the number of patients treated for coughs has increased significantly in the past few days, 20 to 30% more than usual. Sudden changes in weather are particularly likely to irritate the respiratory tract and induce coughs. Don't take antibiotics as soon as you cough. Dr. Liu Gang said that many people can't stop coughing because they can't get the right treatment. To prescribe the right medicine for a cough, you need to understand its pathology. You can't think of taking antibiotics as soon as you cough. Pathologically speaking, coughs in the human body are divided into acute coughs and chronic coughs. 70% to 80% of acute coughs are caused by viruses, that is, common colds cause coughs. In addition, there are hoarseness, larynx, and sore throat. Itching, pain, phlegm and other symptoms. Since this kind of cough is caused by viruses rather than bacteria, blind use of antibiotics will naturally have little effect. In addition to cold coughs, another type of acute cough is caused by bacteria in the throat, mainly streptococci. This kind of cough can be treated with antibiotics, but many people often rely on their own experience when using them. What "pioneers" are there at home? ”, “erythromycin”, “cephalosporin”, etc., just grab them and use them. If they don’t work, you should quickly change them. If antibiotics are not taken in a standardized manner, not only will the efficacy not be achieved, drug resistance will develop over time, and the cough will naturally remain uncured for a long time. Chronic cough is another type of cough. This kind of cough is mostly "patented" by patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Their cough attacks have seasonal characteristics, usually 2 to 3 times a year. The weather that has changed greatly in recent days is the peak period of its onset. We remind patients of this kind, especially elderly patients, that they should not do morning exercises in the near future. If such patients take antibiotics, the condition will be more complicated. The old and young are the main force. In daily life, the elderly and children are more likely to suffer from lingering coughs. Children in the developmental stage have delicate skin and poor resistance to external evils. They also do not know how to take care of themselves to adapt to changes in external temperature. Therefore, they are easily invaded by wind-cold, wind-heat, and wind-dryness, causing exogenous coughs. At the same time, their gastrointestinal tract is weak and easily injured by dairy foods, raw and cold foods, and greasy and fried foods, leading to digestive dysfunction, internal phlegm and turbidity, which blocks the airway and causes coughing. If persistent cough symptoms are not suppressed and worsen, it will easily cause lung disease and induce lung disease, bronchiectasis, heart valve and other diseases. Therefore, coughing cannot be ignored, especially if it persists for a long time, and you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Prevention is the key. In addition to adding or removing clothes in a timely manner to prevent colds, people should also eat more fruits and vegetables and take in more vitamin-rich foods; participate in appropriate physical exercises to enhance their resistance and immunity. If you are currently experiencing cough symptoms, please identify the type and prescribe appropriate medicine. Common coughs in life are divided into wind-heat cough, wind-cold cough, dry-fire cough, etc. If your condition is mild or you want to use home remedies, you can try the following methods. Symptoms of wind-heat cough: fever, dry mouth, nasal congestion, yellow and thick phlegm, and sore throat. You can eat radish, winter melon, pears, seaweed, loquat leaves, persimmons and other foods. Symptoms of wind-cold cough: muscle aches all over the body, feeling cold, sore throat, white and thin phlegm, accompanied by headache, runny nose and fever. For treatment, ginger and brown sugar can be decocted in water. Symptoms of dry fire cough: dry cough, less phlegm, dry lips and throat. It can be eaten with pear stewed lily or stewed rock sugar.
