    Strong, painless and with abdominal pain or under ribs, dry and wet — cough
    may have a different picture. Consider in his features signs
    specific illness — This is the art of a doctor.

    Dry,
    Unproductive cough arises from irritation of respiratory tract.
    The sputum is not cleared, and therefore such cough, in fact, is useless
    For the body. Similar cough
    occurs during laryngotrachite, bronchitis, at the very beginning of their development. He
    barking, coarse, combined with votes, in throat. Then
    there is a scarce wet, the cough gradually becomes wet, that is
    Productive.

    Attack
    Dry strong cough can be caused by inhalation of irritating substances,
    smoke, hit the foreign bodies in the airways. Such a cough can lead to suffocation,
    accompanied by the formation of skin cover, loss of consciousness.

    Periodic
    Dry cough with pain under the ribs is characteristic of pleurrites, chronic dry cough — For mediastinum tumors, bronchi, sarcoidosis, aortic aneurysms. With tuberculosis
    lungs sick for a long time pushes, and a weak surface cough does not even suggest
    Serious illness.

    Wet,
    Productive cough differs from dry cough with its timbre. Kashlevoye
    noises are complemented by sounds arising when moving sputum. Cough, wheezing, «Bulk» in chest,
    which are heard at a distance are most often caused by the accumulation of mucus when bronchitis,
    Pneumonia, bronchiectatic disease, lung abscesses. At the same time, children and
    weakened patients may not pump off the wet outward, but to climb it that
    mistaken makes thinking about dry cough.

    If the sputum moves easily, it can be assumed that
    «Causal place» Located near the voice gap. At pneumonia I
    Bronchitis mucus moves with difficulty, after a long severe breast cough.

    Cough for
    heart failure and chronic laryngitis usually standing and
    Provoked by various smells, change of temperature and humidity.
    Cough attacks at night
    may be a sign of allergies or cardiac asthma, and the morning cough is more often
    speaks about chronic bronchitis.

    Special attention should be given to the barking, dry cough in a child, cause
    which can be cough, sometimes passing in a chop. A series of convulsive
    The cough jesters is replaced by a protracted whistling inhale heard at a distance,
    Such cough often leads
    To suffocation and require emergency medical care.

    Attention! Far away
    every case of cough
    requires an in-depth examination, especially if there are other signs of acute
    respiratory infection, but not passing cough, lasting more than 3 weeks, despite
    Conducted treatment should be a reason to appeal to the doctor. Before
    treat, it is important to understand the reasons for the appearance of this so many-sided symptom.
