Why do I keep coughing during the recovery period?

1. The body is excreting residual

Many people cough constantly after testing positive because the virus attacks the respiratory mucosa, causing excessive secretions and irritation to the throat. Since the mucosa usually takes 1 to 3 weeks to recover, many people still cough after turning negative.

2. New external pathogens invade the body

Coughing is just a manifestation of the body's expulsion of external pathogens. If it does not gradually recover after a long period of time, then you need to consider whether the body has been infected with new external pathogens.

How to relieve constant coughing?

1. Drink more water

During a cough, drinking more water can not only moisturize the respiratory tract and accelerate the body's metabolism, but also dilute the phlegm, making it easier to cough out, and the cough can recover faster.

2. Throat lozenges

Some throat lozenges have throat-friendly formulas and menthol, which can bring a cooling sensation and have a certain analgesic effect. They can soothe the throat and reduce airway sensitivity.

3. Steam Inhalation

Prepare a cup of hot water, then put your nose toward the cup and inhale. Continue for about 20 minutes each time. When the water gets cold, replace it with hot water. Do this 2 to 3 times a day.

4. Keep the environment moist

Dryness and coldness can irritate the respiratory tract and aggravate coughing. When we are indoors, we can use a humidifier to keep the indoor air moist and reduce sensitivity. But remember to clean the humidifier regularly to avoid dirt and dust accumulation, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria. When going out, you can wear a scarf or mask to filter the cold and dry air before it enters the nasal cavity, which can reduce irritation to the respiratory tract.

5. Raise your pillow

When we lie flat, it is easy for the nose to drip, which will irritate the throat and cause coughing, and will also cause the mucus secreted by the respiratory tract to be retained. At this time, we can use pillows to raise the head and upper body to make the respiratory tract tilted, which can prevent mucus from being retained in the respiratory tract and effectively relieve coughing.

6. Wash your nose

If there is too much mucus in the nasal cavity, it will easily flow down and stimulate the receptors in the throat, causing coughing. So if you have a severe nasal congestion and runny nose, try a nasal rinser, which may also relieve your cough.

Coughing is accompanied by sputum. What can I do to help expel sputum?

1. Patting the back to expel phlegm

Patting the back with your hands will loosen the secretions in the throat through vibration, which will help to expel phlegm. When patting the back, you can lie on your side or sit up. The hand that pats the back should be raised, the palm should be hollow, and the thumb should be against the index finger. Do not pat with a flat palm. When patting the back, pat from bottom to top and from both sides to the middle. Do not pat too hard when patting the back, and keep a certain rhythm. Do not pat the back directly with your bare hands, but pat through the clothes.

2. Exhale to expel phlegm

Sit naturally, keep your upper body as upright as possible, with your hips bearing weight on the chair, put your hands under your ribs, inhale to feel the expansion of your stomach and ribs, then open your mouth and say: Ha! You will find that your stomach is tightening inwards. Do this 2 to 3 times, then return to normal breathing, and it will be easier to cough up phlegm.

3. Horizontal expectoration

Lying on the bed or sofa, kneel down with your legs with your feet facing up, fold your hands in a bowing position, place your head on the back of your hands, and arch your back. Coughing up the phlegm will then be much smoother.

Long-term coughing will constantly exert pressure on our chest area, which is not conducive to the blood circulation of the heart. It will also consume a lot of physical energy and affect the body's recovery. Therefore, for coughing, we must intervene and care for it, and we cannot leave it alone.
