What’s wrong with coughing when you lie down with bronchitis?



Coughing as soon as the bronchitis lies down may be due to the accumulation of a large amount of phlegm in the airways, and when the body position changes, the phlegm rushes to the pharynx to stimulate the airways, thus inducing coughing.

Since there are relatively few cilia in the airways to transport the phlegm out in time, most of the phlegm in patients with bronchitis adheres to the walls of the trachea, so when a patient with bronchitis lies down, the airways are more obviously irritated, inducing a cough.

Patients with bronchitis should have reasonable anti-inflammatory, phlegm-reducing and asthma-reducing treatment in the clinic. Under the guidance of sputum culture and drug sensitivity test, choose sensitive antibiotics for active treatment.

And for patients with bronchitis can be knocked back to expel sputum, assisting patients to expel sputum as soon as possible, the symptoms of coughing while lying down have been significantly improved.

Bronchitis patients are recommended to consult a doctor in time.
