DRY COUGH – Doctor Willie Ong pointed out the common causes to this disturbing health condition and the remedies to it.
There are a lot of health conditions that seem to be not-so-alarming but they are disturbing and can lead to worse situations if not treated. One of them is dry cough. It is really embarrassing to have an itchy throat in a moment where everyone is silent.
An itchy throat is just one of the many persistent symptoms of the said health condition. It can be caused by a lot of factors and the treatment to it may vary.
In a video, Dr. Willie Ong pointed out the common causes of dry cough. He also cited the remedies to it based on the case. Here’s what the doctor said:
1. Asthma Cough-Variant
This the type of asthma that has coughing as the only symptom. It is often due to the cold weather, scents, air pollution, and pollen from plants. The best remedy to it is to avoid the aforementioned things that trigger it.
2. Post Nasal Drip from Allergies
According to Doc Willie, it is the flowing of the mucus from the nose to the back of the throat. It is accompanied by an itchy throat. It may be caused by nasal polyp, allergic rhinitis, and chronic sinusitis. Visit a doctor for proper prescriptions on allergies.
3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
This health condition which also causes dry cough is characterized by the going of the acid from the stomach to the esophagus. It leads to the irritation on the esophagus prompting the cough. Take a proper prescription from the doctor, do not lie down after eating, and do not have your belt too tight.
4. Medicine Side Effects
According to Doc Willie Ong, dry cough may also be a result of a medicine intake. It is best to seek the advice of your doctor to check whether there is a need to chance your medicine or none.
5. Post-infectious Cough
This is the coughing that remains even after getting cured from a viral infection or flu. Doc Willie said in the video that it is because the lungs have wounds due to the previous irritation. You may be given cough suppressants.
