Cough and cold homeopathy treatment in tirupati – Coughing is the body’s way of removing and expelling saliva (mucus) from the lungs and airways.

How does cough happen?

Sensory sensors in the airways send a stimulus to the brainstem when you feel the presence of a foreign body or the presence of inflammation and this leads to this reaction to activate the muscles of breathing and the diaphragm in a coordinated manner in order to transfer air quickly and strongly into the airways, as a reaction to the stimulus sent by the sensors .

These secretions, in general, are mucus, i.e. saliva that is produced in the airways in order to protect and clean them from pollutants and small foreign bodies.

As is well known, a “productive cough”, that is, a cough accompanied by a variety of secretions, may contain various substances such as blood, mucus and pus. The color of this cough (which differs from a cough with sputum) can be green, yellow, white, pink, or dark red.

Coughing itself is a symptom, not a disease.

Usually the reality of the cough and its causes becomes apparent only after other symptoms appear or after careful physical and imaging examinations.

Causes and risk factors for coughing :

As we mentioned, coughing with phlegm is accompanied by the secretion of salivary substances called “phlegm” or “mucus”.

The source of this saliva is either the lungs (in the bronchioles inside or outside the lungs) or from a more upper source, such as the nose or the sinuses of the skull.

In this condition, saliva travels to the airways, due to the effect of the force of gravity, through the back of the throat.

• The most common complications of a cough include:
• Pain in the chest and abdomen
• Inability to control urine ( incontinence during coughing)
• Exhaustion.

As we have already said, coughing is a symptom in and of itself, not a disease. And the doctor should conduct a comprehensive physical examination in order to identify other symptoms that would help us diagnose the causes of coughing.

The tests that can help us diagnose and determine the causes of coughing in such cases are:

• Oximetry: With an electrical measuring device placed on one of the fingers of the hand.
• Examination of the performance of the lungs “Peak expiratory flow rate”: or “spirometry”, which helps in the process of diagnosing some diseases such as asthma or various lung diseases.
• Imaging tests: which can help diagnose and determine the causes of coughing, are chest X-ray examinations. This examination is performed when there are signs of disease during a physical examination and a listening examination of the lungs.

Flat throat examination: to detect Pertussis, computed tomography (CT) scan of the paranasal sinuses of the skull. Also, in order to detect cough from an upper source, a Post nasal drip test, a lung function test, and even a gastric reflux test (GERD) are performed.
