Coughing on both sides of the chest and ribs is associated with irritating vibrations in the lungs and bronchitis.
1. Lung irritation vibration: when beating on both sides of the chest, if the strength is too big or too many times, it will cause irritation vibration to the lungs, vibration stimulation to the pleura, located in the chest of the nerve endings will be stimulated to the center to complete the cough reflex, causing cough symptoms.
2. Bronchitis: When bronchial infection occurs, the mucous membrane of the bronchial wall at the site of infection is damaged, hemorrhage, edema, and a large amount of inflammatory secretion is produced to stimulate the bronchial wall, causing reflex cough. When tapping on both sides of the chest and ribs, the vibration will cause the inflammatory secretions in the infected area to spread, resulting in aggravation of the cough.
Patients found tapping on both sides of the chest and ribs cough, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the blood routine, chest X-ray, pulmonary function tests, etc., to clarify the cause of the disease, and comply with the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
