What should I do if my aunt catches a cold?

Women will feel that their resistance is reduced when they have their period, and they will experience symptoms of cold and cough, which will aggravate the symptoms of dysmenorrhea and make women feel very listless. In this case, they can improve their physical condition through some dietary adjustments and eat more foods that have anti-inflammatory and cough-relieving effects.

Although cough variant asthma is usually not life-threatening, it should be diagnosed early and treated actively because it can develop into typical asthma and the disease can seriously affect sleep, work and study.

Once cough variant asthma is diagnosed, antibiotics or antiviral drugs should be stopped, and care should be taken to avoid contact with allergens. In particular, primary prevention of asthma is implemented for children with cough variant asthma, aiming to promote and enhance Th1 cell response.

The treatment principles for cough variant asthma are the same as those for typical asthma, mainly using inhaled corticosteroids for anti-inflammatory treatment. For specific treatment plans and dosages of inhaled corticosteroids, please refer to the treatment plans in the extended reading. Continuous inhalation is usually required for 5-7 days. After the airway inflammation is controlled, the cough symptoms may gradually decrease or disappear.

Inhaled corticosteroids should be continued for at least 3 months to avoid relapse. If the cough is severe, bronchodilators such as inhaled or oral β2 receptor stimulants and/or oral theophylline drugs can be used if necessary to temporarily relieve cough symptoms. Anti-allergic drugs such as levocetirizine, desloratadine and mast cell stabilizers such as Nedocromil and sodium cromoglycate can also achieve good results, but they often need to be used continuously for more than 2 weeks.
